A Prison Filled With Smoke

 I drew with a pencil that broke in the middle I drew with the shorter half that choked on the riddle I knew it was going to be harder to hide my fiddle I drew on top of a scar that had been ripped open too far I drew the stitches to cover the leakage in rage I made the lead to break I drew dark glasses to hide my eyes from lies that cover my face I drew empty classes where I teach freedom I knew no one would come and take the risk that it encompasses I drew the bucket  that has holes everywhere I drew the station that never sees a train only the pain of everything passing right through the empty tracks I drew a relation that is always in tension what should I say how should I pay what should I do not to stay I drew a blanket to cover my soul I drew a bullet to destroy the ghoul I knew someone will call me out I knew someone will shout I drew a chair where I can sit and think about being fair I drew a floor filled with gravity of good time smoke gathered around me suddenly, I ...

No You Will Not Cry

No you will not cry..
You fool.
Don’t try to be wet and miserable..
Instead play this cool.
No you will not cry..
Or break open every word you heard..
As a memorable token.
And besides no one is sitting thinking about you..
No you won’t be missed in the very few ..
No you won’t have known this before or would have any clue.
No you will not cry..
So don’t you even try..
If this doesn’t hold true then stop asking why.
It’s the more you ask..
The more you hate the mask.
Which was worn or adapted..
While you kept being the same..
Someone just retracted..
So don’t you cry..
Give it not more than a thought or two.
Don’t defy stop figuring out woe..
No you will not cry..
And if that makes you happy..
Let it be a self inflicted lie.
So not a sigh..
Or a drop of smear.
Tougher as it gets..
It eases when kept near..
And you won’t find out until..
One day it disappears.
