“Well, it’s obvious that I like you
Because I’m beautiful
And I’m choosing to be here
With you
Now.”
There is truth in her arrogance.

You swallowed shards of shattered sentiment
Stuttered as you scarred your sincere flesh
In selfless self-violence
You slit your own throat from the inside out.

Your great strengths beget
Your great weaknesses,
And in those weaknesses
You find your strengths.
Embrace your contradictions honestly;
There is nothing left to fear.
Do not speak to me in poetry
Do not speak to me in poetry.
Don’t present me with neat words;
Hand-tied,
Ribbon-topped.
Do not speak to me in poetry.
Give me raw, rasping rhetoric–
Rough and unrefined.
Imperfectly accurate.
Do not speak to me in poetry.
Don’t deceive me with rhyme;
Give me ugly truths,
Ill-thought-out.
Do not speak to me in poetry.
