predicament

“predicament”, a raw poem that takes place in two phases of the subject’s life

sharing the last stanza of sections 1 and 2:

 

1

 

I avoid my friends when I cry

I want only to fix my life

live someplace where nobody hits

no friends to dodge

no welted handprints

I want to own my face

2

silent tears leak on my way to work

spill over my face

ruin my mascara

I want to fix my life

live someplace where nobody hits

I want to own my body
