corner

‘corner’

i don’t want to be here anymore.

i’m not afraid to admit it.

i’m not afraid to say it.

i’m tired of the constant dismissals.

i’m tired of actions not matching the words

the cowardice, the absolvement of blame,

the walking away like i hardly ever mattered,

or was, or will be.

i’m tired of my role.

i’m tired of my mask.

i’m tired of writing in a pad

whoring myself under the pimp of a hand.
