Please, Remove Your Shoes

“I wish I could write like you”

thanks I suppose

for praising the demons

for their dedicated work

the product of their endeavors

still chuckling as I type

pushing me to the barren edge

they drown me in sorrows

yet I swim

they force my lungs to stop

yet I breathe

they darken my painful world

yet I see

for If they win

I lose

and that’s enough

for me

to keep fighting

to wear

this paper mache smile

to paint in

concerned eyes

and sketch

a crooked smile

while forcing a laugh

so

if you’d like this

“talent”

go ahead

be my guest

just know

before you enter hell

please,

remove your shoes

cause Im still

trying to clean

my

linoleum mind
