Watching
by Karen Michelletake another step
towards glory
leave me in
your toxic wake
trample these flowers
that grew so naturally
beneath your heavy feet
everyone is moving
upwards
in the most
effortless ways
and here i am
flailing about
upside down and
inside out
these old words
(recycled)
ring through me
like nothing good
could come of this
and nothing new
ever invents itself
in this place
i'm struggling
with everything
and nothing
change is such
an impossible thing
to bring about
and what was once
an urge to hide myself
becomes a need
to tear down these walls
with violence and noise
trapped inside this flesh,
i only learn to
hate you more
but don't take it personally
when i say "you"
i only mean
