feb4/00 through the eyes of another - a poem by karmyhn d.e. jory
and i left my spirit 10 paces back and 5 paces to the left alongside my father and his new wife and child that I haven't met yet alongside a best friend i cannot say 'i love you' to and a boyfriend whom i have never really cared for
and i left my soul at church the other day with my mother who refuses to acknowledge that i am a pagan and a brother who has never had sex even though he has and a sister who is stuck in grade 3 where God can fix everything
and i left my heart with the babysitter who raped me when i was five and the womyn who stole my fathers love from me and the two ex-friends who left me to sleep with each other
and i found my miserty in my computer with the people who can be fake whenever they want to and with my games where i can get drunk and not have a hangover with my Unix and Linux systems that I always know how to fix
and i found my hate when my best friend loved a man and i never knew how it felt when my dog shit on the floor right outside of my bedroom door when the only person who loved me was my mother because she had to
and i found this to be the rest of my life because i chose it. |
