| 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. |
