sad poems ...

i have decided to share some of my poems a few at a time. here are 4 poems that i wrote when i was 17. 

gosh i was sad. 

feudalism

i am under you

i owe you something

at least that’s how you treat me

i can’t want to give you anything

you make me pay for my

love for you

*****************************

purple drips

ooze down my chin and into my

mouth

while cascading bits of life

hit me in the face

as i walk unaware of the future behind me

*********************

naked

i am naked before you

i stand shivering

while you judge me

when i speak to you

you nod

you read my poetry you listen to my singing

all the while my naked figure bends where you blow her

and you continue to envelop me

my soul is engulfed by your desire

and i am drowning in your oppression

because with you i am naked

so that you can always see every part of me

**********

sculpture

like a lump of clay

you made me into what you wanted

and then left me to harden and crumble on your sparklingly  clean counter top

i was surprised you left me there

seeing as you’re so anal

i was a mess

but you just left me

why didn’t you clean me up?

how could you leave me in that dry, cracking state?

you insist that you haven’t found a new lump of clay

but the truth is

you’re bored

so i’ll stay here on your counter and continue to crumble

until i am a pile of dust

and then you can sweep me into the garbage

with your apple peels

and forget 

that i was ever 

here
