Poem 18

Misinformed Writers

Nobody really feels
quite that way.
Nobody really has
a hole through their chest
a pit in their stomach.
Those are just silly words
for silly writers
While the real
flesh and blood and heart people
think they must be wrong --
instead of those misinformed
writers

Poem 17

Mental Masochist

It's probably my weakness.
I can never help myself
if it means hurting another.
I just let them assume
and be human
While silently killing myself
so that they will not be injured.
