i find myself

wandering,

belonging

to no one

not a city,

not a man.

broken pieces of my

being, blown into the sea

by the gentle caress of the breeze.

i take myself apart

liking to feel the sunlight easily.

i love

feeling the 

wind

in my hair

and the sun,

on my skin.

liquor on my lips,

i find a boy

one city at a time,

and hold him 

captive,

in my kiss.

i am my own.

i find my summer,

in the people around me,

and the places i am in.

no person holds me down,

no one can 

tell where my moral compass points,

not due north, i can say.

i look up at the sky,

vision blurry and lips

stained with colorful

drinks,

he is beside me

and i inhale him

like the cigarettes

i smoke on the daily.

but in the morning

i am on again.

the story book

is a bunch of ripped

pages,

with no happily ever after,

filled with poverty,

and a thing for older men

no once upon a time

filled with sex

and drugs,

and perhaps some bliss.

pay

me

attention.

pay

me

attention.

i am the violence in the pouring rain.

i am a hurricane.
