the difference between upper and lower case
by Vikki Owensi feel empty.
i do.
and lonely.
i feel...lowercase i.
YOU walk around in capital letters
and tell me what i should be doing
and where i should be going
and i take care of YOU.
i give and give and give YOU, from mySELF and of mySELF.
and YOU take and take and take into YOURself and for YOURself.
sometimes, in a small voice, i say that YOU are selfish.
and i shame myself by thinking this thing.
i think of other words too, though,
like..
resentful.
bitter.
it figures.
i feel not taken care of.
i feel YOUR will batter against mine.
i feel like i crumble again and again for YOUR love.
i feel invisible to YOU.
except when YOU want to fuck.
and then, in a small voice, i think
fuck YOU. 04/23/2008 Posted on 04/23/2008
