Coping

The show is over and I am left alone,

still basking in the Philharmonic orchestra of Beethoven's...

I sit
Silently
In a classroom
Slowly going insane
As the seconds tick through...

Oh no.
Here she comes

I can hear it,
Car door slamming
Feet stomping
...

- Sigh..... tired
-let me lift some of this weight off of my shoulders
-as I get a little...

And poems that rhyme
It's just my way
Of pretending I'm fine

But...

When I was younger fear was not an option

I had dreams of doing better things, getting out the Hood...

Nothing gonna change the world
There's a gun in my left hand
There's a heart in my right...

Like a snake in the wild I will shed my skin and leave it under a weeping willow tree for another to find....

A whirlwind of emotion,

An explosion of fears,

A landslide of guilt,

A flood of...
