GRADUATION

My faded glories of tactful mistakes
and a vengeance so deep, so strong
its burrowed maps of self infliction
upon my skin.
I am not the girl I thought I was
Never knew a needle, a bottle, a kiss
a glance could do so much damage
and yet it has, and is.
Thought maybe it was a lack
of concern; on his part, her part, that brought the
confusion.
It wasn't the lack it was the total absence.
Freedom rings in my ears
as I take another drink, puff, snort, inhale,
exhale.
yes I have written this before
I knew this boy
he said you are watching me die
everyday
I told him to shut up
and he did
and everyday he shot a little bit more
into his arm
till he was dead
and I watched him die
circles and circles.
