My ankle hurts
because I stepped funny
at the very beginning
of my very own bat mitzvah party.
I might've twisted it
I don't really know
but I can't sit a certain way
otherwise the pain returns
poking
stabbing
sharp
like a knife that cuts
but also bruises?
I don't know.
My ankle just hurts
because I ran
and stepped funny
and made my ankle gave out on me
just like everything else did.
I try
to strive in life
to get things done, to win
to be on top of everything
it's hard.
I've learned
that a concept
like life is hard to grasp
you have to learn to hold it, but
I'm sorry
but for what, you might ask?
Some people know
other people don't need to know
the point is that the message gets across.
I get it
I didn't mean to lash out at you
well, actually I did
Orange pen
curving, looping, tracing my thoughts onto a page
fulfilling my orders
moved by my hand.
Orange pen
flying, soaring, leaping
dancing across the page
