She sought uniqueness./
When she felt it, like a flame,/
his warmly stirred her.

Do I Ask Too Much? : Romantic Email Poetic Lament
Guys ask you/
to color your hair;
/dress differently;
/change your style; /
trim your hair; /
act other than you are;/
change your body;/
alter your speech patterns;/
shave and tidy up;/
pose;/
do things that change
your personality/
and alter
who you are./
So, to show them you care./
You sacrifice yourself,/
And who you are./
What they ask
and demand of you,
You do.
I ask you to call,
write,
text;/
To let me hear
from you.
You don’t.
Acting Weird: Revolutionary Poetry
You’ve not see me:
Ill.
In pain.
Exhausted.
Weak.
Freezing.
Nervous.
Sleep deprived.
Delirious.
Confused.
Lonely.
Afraid.
Alone.
Scared.
For you I’ve always been:
Happy.
Healthy.
Energetic.
Strong.
Comfortable.
In control.
Confident.
Lucid.
Of course I’m acting weird.
I’m standing here
On an unknown stage,
Reading unfamiliar lines,
With no props,
And with emptiness
All around,
In a solo show.
You can get a refund
On your ticket,
And they can bring
The curtain down.
