I Despise Annotation

I despise annotating in my books and in my notes

It takes away from the beauty of the page

It's confusing and maiming and hurts the book

And it hurts me deeply

Too many shapes and writings to follow

It's so overwhelming and it really, really hurts my eyes

Why fry your brain working so hard to emphasize what's already there? Something that's not in disguise?

    I feel like I'm imposing

    Which isn't fair for you to do,

    It's not fair that you make me feel like I'm on the outside

    I hate sitting here, trying to reignite what once was

    I thought we we're doing this anymore

  • unkept (wo)man

    subjugated to solitude eternal,

    only perceiving and watching love,

    maybe receiving it but never understanding it

    never internalizing it

    it bounces off. Doesn't stick,

    unkept and unruly and unclean.
