Day 9 of 27.
There is something about poetry and spoken word that can’t be expressed in any other way. This evening I am performing at a gallery, event opening in Brooklyn, and I’m terrified and excited to perform my work. This piece of writing among others is very personal to me. Over the past two years I’ve been doing some open mic performances, and although I’m no stranger to performance and being on stage, spoken word and poetry is something I never had the courage to perform- until now.
This is dedicated to the one I love(d).
I’M DONE
No you don’t get to fuck me and say there’s a hundred ways to love me and then disappear.
You don’t get to be “friends” when you don’t trust me and fill me with fear.
You don’t get to share my heart and then then tear it apart.
That’s not art.
I’m not a pretty girl but at least I’m smart
I have fire and desire and I know how to play the part.
You don’t get to be in my movie and have a cameo role
I want a leading man not a stand in.
I’m not a hole
You can’t fuck me when it pleases you.
I told you I’d be there for you and I needed you.
And what did you do?
You got your hand in my pussy and you thought, I’m all for the taking.
but you’re mistaken.
I’m not making this up.
Your times up.
I gave YOU my fire, you gave into MY desire and your face lit up.
That’s what’s up.
But you chose to quash it and wash it away as a casualty of your half assed reality.
Bull shit. I call it and you’re full of it.
You’re emotionally bankrupt and you’re asking for a loan?
I know I Look like a charity but this is moral depravity
I guess you missed my clarity when I told you it was all or nothing
Your legal tender is of no value here.
But since you don’t understand I’m going to tell you once more….
I can’t be seen with a man without a passion for life.
You wanna stay with your half-baked excuses and look for constant muses?
When you know there can only be ONE.
And I’m done…
