I Am More

I’m shutting this down

I’m closing it up

This book that I’ve written

This chapter I’ve read

I’m burning it to pieces

And I couldn’t be happier.

This is the end of the same old same old

Different doesn’t exist anymore

I don’t think it ever did.

I’m tearing this down

I’m ripping it up

This picture of you

And me in my head.

Look what you’ve done

I’m writing freakin poetry

Nonsense of words

That string together

And people praise it.

My eyes hurt

I rub them

And we call it poetry

And this is what you

Want to write?

Write Write!

God please write.

It’ll make you happy

Oh but wait,

Happiness is an emotion

You don’t feel those.

Sorry dude

You’re straight out of luck

I guess you’re stuck.

Oh wait?

I’m sorry

Did that just rhyme?

I’m walking right past you

I’m ignoring you straight

Because I’m worth more than

Anything you could ever give me.

And I think I’m okay with that.
