Long Division

Long Division

A Poem by Katie Kistler

It’s been the longest three weeks of my life
I cried, I got buzzed, I moved twice
And I feel so over being nice
Does someone want to hold me tonight?
And obviously I say I’m alright
But if you know me then you know that that’s a lie
My mama sees right through the white
And the warm reverberates and makes it light
And her voice holds me tight

It’s been the shittiest year of our lives
I think it’s fair to say that, I’m sure I’m right
But you’re the one who let a good thing die
Maybe I’m not the only one that could have tried
You did the math and now it’s all simplified
You get to stay where you are, you get to hide
But I’m the one who’s gotta get up and fly
So excuse me if my brick wall seems too high
I don’t want to let you see me cry

Yet you let the reader see you cry
Through these touching words
Painfully powerful
You got through the shitiest year of your lives, and mama is watching
Keep writing it out Katie
Felt real and can't beat real.
Ended with a hint of pink floyd's classic the wall
Well written
