i am emotionally starving.
i am eternally tired and perpetually out of place.
basic cravings now include cigarettes and companionship.
now necessary to life is caffeine.
i don't know who i am.
i never did.
but i know i envy your clean new soul and scrubbed pink lungs.
especially your time.
you have so much time.
Titles are for YOU, silly. "I envy your clean, new soul and scrubbed-pink lungs." A poem with a line like this one deserves a title... :)
ReplyDeleteThrough just this poem alone, I can hear your soul speaking
ReplyDeleteI really like your lines:
ReplyDelete"i don't know who i am.
i never did" and also your lines,
"especially your time.
you have so much time."
Madi I love this, as you know. My favorite lines are the two first ones: "i am emotionally starving. i am eternally tired and perpetually out of place". They have always been my favorites. And they will always continue to be my favorites. <3
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful poem.
Good use of integrating cause and effect in to the piece, and the positive and negative statements meld together well.
