I don't deserve a curtain call

by Vere Mantratriad

the poster claimed
what I couldn't provide
surely you were expecting
something different
as you took your seat
something better than
performance art of a girl
ripping her intestines out
and throwing them
at your face
so I can't blame you
for walking out
before the end

and as the curtain falls
I will not bow
because I'm not proud
of anything
I've said
or done

Yeow! Nice one. I've felt like my innards had been exposed when reading certain personal poems to an audience. Not a great feeling sometimes. ;)
