Another poem to be written
\nAnother poem about….<\/p>\n
Gosh, what’s another word for bullshit?<\/p>\n
I realized today how much happier I was
\nin my naivete…<\/p>\n
back when I didn’t understand why
\nmy faux “sisty” behaved so strangely,
\ndemanding that I marry so that she could
\n“be rich”.<\/p>\n
I wrote it off to her lack of an education.<\/p>\n
… back when I wasn’t afraid to be myself
\nbecause I didn’t actually know who I was
\nto begin with…<\/p>\n
And by “begin with”, I mean my birth.<\/p>\n
“The Hunt”… it’s a good movie…
\none I relate to in a big way,
\nhaving been hunted myself.<\/p>\n
I’m tired. No, really, tired… I need to go to bed.<\/p>\n
I also need to get this out…
\nI’m tired – like the beautiful blonde
\nfighting the crazy rich chick in the movie.<\/p>\n
What a great monologue about the jack rabbit
\nand the box turtle.<\/p>\n
I am so f-ing tired! I want to point my finger
\nat a few entitled perverts and shout
\n“Straighten up!”<\/p>\n
But that’s not my job, is it. Not my job!<\/p>\n
Sometimes I wish I didn’t know the things I know.
\nMost of the time I wonder how human beings can
\nbe so entirely inhumane.<\/p>\n
I’m just so tired. Going to bed now. Too tired of it all.
\nThis poem sucks, and I am too tired to care.
\nI’m supposed to be “forgiving” while believing the strangest things…<\/p>\n
Like “reptilian aliens are the root of the world’s problems.”<\/p>\n
I am so f-ing tired, that I just can’t think of another word for it…
\nbullshit.<\/p>\n
Good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
