sisyphish in Poetry & Free Verse

did ya think i’d forget?

they think I’m as selfish as it gets

and i haven’t done anything for myself yet.

i'm not afraid of you, i'm terrified.

just. keep yourself occupied.

ill hide - count to thirty-five.

.....

I’m getting started cutting ties with the

things that were keeping me down.

It’s a surprise

all the lies and snakes I’ve found.

I've grown wise.

I’m sorry if it hurts you but that’s

not my interest.

I just don’t know how much longer

we all can do this.

playing pretend is exhausting for me.

dust is seeping from the sides of the rug.

running away is exhausting for you.

your body has had enough.
