SNIT

A Poem by Glen Fitch

           

    How dare you take away from me
        the love that others gave me,
            leaving me alone.
        We're trapped.
            I gnash my teeth and groan.
        We're pushed around.
            I wince with every shove.
    We're not like you.
        Our world we can't control,
            Ourselves as well.
            Addictions feed our face.
        In pain inflicting pain
            we stay in place.
        I won't give up
            but cannot save my soul.
        I hate you.
        Hate myself.
            I stink of gall.
    Let's have it out right now
        and then be done.
    I have my hostage
        pinned against the wall
        and at my temple, look,
        I shove a gun.
    I'll shoot!
        No?
        Yes?
    I want to see you nod.
    I dare you!
        Show me that you love me, God.

A word is a wager in thought. Every one I pick is a bet that it will mean to you what it means to me. That is at least today, relevant to my race, class, gender and community. The fine print in my poe.. more..
