poetry is not for me

The cringe lines that makes you

Gag and sick to your stomach,

The pretty little words

And the heart dragging truth

Racing towards you,

Picking up run, beat, heart, boom, boom

The eye roll, and the edge of a Clift

You hanging on, the comfort Disgusting

It gives, the loneliness and full feeling

It leaves and bags it helps you carry,

The weight

And the motivation you wait for it

Like a friend and disappointed when

Not shown up, but brush off the pang

That you walk under the air not quit

Clear,

Poetry is not for me

Because most time it doesn't wait for me

To say go,

It just jumps-

In the ocean of blank paper

Or Disappearing through the screen,

Of an eye

Typing, writing without no destination

Sometimes

Just thoughts,

And anger,

Pain,

And grieve,

And observation

And clownness,

And what

And confusion,

What is the meaning

Yet Doesn't always have to mean,

Something-

And there just there

Sitting—

Relief

Content

And then delete or

Just forgotten somewhere in the universe

Hopefully some next generation would,

Maybe read it when old apps,

Upgrade and the paper becomes wrinkle,

With years of life buried deep inside

Within those words within the ink,

So poetry is for me.
