Just Wednesday
I felt my heart shatter,
just like they wanted
I wished I could have yelled
I wished I could have SCREAMED
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO TO HELL
but I can’t.
I can’t breathe in the water while I drown.

winning.

they think delicate,

I think I have forgotten
What it means to be human
I failed to swim in this air,
Drowning in oxygen that slowly rusts my lungs
If I continue to take my medicine
Will I lose the scars?

Too quick to believe in forever and kisses.
They roll their eyes when I speak from my chest,
As if my heart's too small to feel this mess.

We drink from wells, we mend our roofs,

Haiku of the yak
Pride of bovine kind
Wanderer of the mountains

Last Day of School
I wrote this poem about a month ago, and I recited it at Fifth Grade Night on Wednesday, June 12, and just this morning at my graduation.
