In the closet writer
And after many a thought, I have come to the conclusion that in the present I am:
A thief, a wanderer, a giver, a beggar, a cheat, a liar, a conceptualist, a forager, a girl.
A letter in the wind.
A kiss. A goodbye. A vagabond. A daydreamer. A sweet talker. A mute. A person somewhere in there…
A shadow, a light, gaudy golden hue. Uncomfortable, upside down, broken ankles in pretty shoes.
I am one in red lipstick. One with red eyes. One who stole your final puzzle piece
And I won’t give it back.
I am unlovable. Lonesome. The one in a shallow yet ancient friendship.
A sightseer
A hangman
A gallow tree climber
A harvester of wood.
A fire maker
A mood setter
Combustible in the knees.
I shatter easy
I wither quickly
A makeshift life pleaser.
A questioner of thought-
Can I really revive my old life whilst simultaneously inventing a new one?
Can both coexist?
