Then she said,
I’m so fucking tired of
being the only one to parent,
exhausting myself beyond
please let me finally expire
for the night for the day, maybe a trip away
will save me from the day
I finally get fed up
with being alone this way
and say HEY,
why is it all on me
to love them the right way?
All the while friends and family
don’t get it, won’t get it, then hate me
in their way, because I choose
not to stay and be told
this isnt the right trauma
and if you don’t handle it my way
then you can’t stay.
Friends who need you
but don’t pick up the phone
when you need someone
to help you stay away
from that cold, cold bay of
I think I’d like to leave,
jump away from this fray
and not return
with air to breath and
bones to keep the puzzle at play.
Liar liar diamond on fire
Hanging from a circle of dire
needs to be met
yet
mine don’t catch the same fire
never important enough
to make room
to save a life
from eating flames for breakfast
hanging from a telephone wire.
