confessions from the bottom of my cups
I just want to smoke this blunt and be left alone
I just want to forget all the things
that I confessions from the bottom of my all of it
to deal with tomorrow
why can’t it be easy
why can’t I be one of those booshie fucks
in the tallest buildings next to the park
I work so hard and I fail so often
when is karma going to give me a break
I just want one thing to go right
one lucky break
whether it be a scratch card to pay my bills
or a job opportunity to better my career
I just want to know my boyfriend loves me
I just want to know I won’t be 34 single with no kids
Why can’t things be better
why can’t I be better
how low do I have to fall before I start to pick myself up
I was foolish believing that I had done that
when in reality the floor is just as absent below my feet
and where are all those friends I sang of
all the ones that would be there no matter what
I can count on one hand the ones I spoke to this week past
and then there’s me
me letting down my godmother
My Chosen godmother
My grandmother
my good aunt that was fucked up but was there for me before
my bad aunt Who fucked up always but made up for it in the ways that she knew how to
when does it boil down to me
when is it clear that it is I myself that is in the way of anything good
Is it when I have written a thousand poems never to be published or read?
Is it when I have died
When my sister has honored her agreement to publish the stacks of dust filled notebooks I keep under my bed
will I die before I understand what it is I need to be happy?
Do any of us really know what we need to be happy?
I’m not happy
but when I’m not myself at peace
I find I write best
It may not be the best writing but it comes out easily
So judge me if you want
but as I’ve said I’ll never be published
- Foot note; fuck your punctuation and grammar. I’m emotional, I’m an artist and I needed to write this down. SO GET OFF MY BACK. ~see secondary footnote
- *I have been published.
