Two Poems

I’m Fine I thought it was safe here perhaps not not safe anywhere why? hide again mouth shut be quiet talk too much eyes sting bite tongue breathe deep clench fists pace the floor slam doors gently rock sing a song… put on a mask stand up straight head held high smile nod tell the lie “I’m fine”

Exhaustion So tired Too tired Exhausted Drained You drain me… Life blood Drips down Creates a pool Lifeless crimson Take my hand Gently kiss Give it freely Instead you cut Make me bleed Watching A pool grows Curious Precious drops Create ripples Exhaustion Overwhelms My crippled soul Sticky fingers Touch my lips Metallic salt Lingers On my tongue “Snow White” Softly whispered Pale skin Dark hair Bloodstained crimson lips “Meets the living dead” Dark circles Around eyes Tired eyes So tired Too tired Exhausted
