This Poem Is About Me
Paul's "Explicate My Poem" unofficial challenge
This poem is about me
em tuoba si meop siht
shit.
I think
EVERYTHING is about me
small things
big things
old things
stranger
things
It's not your job
but to that ledger I compare
new things
old
things
stranger things
I have
THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
-5000
= THIRTY TWO THOUSAND
dollars
of medical debt
and I haven't even
dyed
yet.
I keep a tally
on a yellow
legal
pad
of everything I spend
and it doesn't negate
what I owe
RAPID
city
is in the state where I live
fugue
state
state of affairs
affairs of the heart
heart attack
attack of the killer
tomatoes
tomato soup
soup and salad
salad dressing
dressing up
up up and a
wheye
I dropped the
h
a
n
d
that held me
and I am confined
by control
every day
is a diet
every diet
is a disease
every disease
adds to my
medical
debt
I am the distraction
i am the disaster
I AM THE SCANDAL
once, I was a young girl
(aged 23)
and I fell in love with a boy
(aged 17.999)
and this feels like a crime
but it was not physical
and it was not real
because I was
just looking for attention
and I think he was looking for his
MOTHER.

bling.
Understanding the thing
is primitive
few
things
give
me
pleasure
love is purely
punishment
NO ONE
thinks
I AM NOT
okay
I feel so tired
I turned myart
into this writing
and
I
prey
on my
past
I pray
in
c.
ilence.
I'm so tryed
I mean tired
I mean
I tried
or maybe cried
or maybe lied
or
maybe sighed
or maybe
died
not yet
the debts
aren't paid
Thank you for reading.

I tried
I lied.
That is all I will say.
