Hell,
I gave up for good.
I'd learned by now
a perfect stranger
would know more
for kidding the way it should be.
I should grow up
to the same space
that I talked myself into.
A corner,
you're no friend of mine,
false and indestructible.
I'd rather go twenty rounds
for killing myself the way it should be.
I should feel confined,
or I feel that I talked myself
above me control:
a sensation sweet so bad.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
