what I allow

Posted: May 2, 2015 in Uncategorized

nobody gets nothing

nobody understands

nobody cares enough to make a difference

          not that they don’t want to just that they can’t

 

nobody occupies the same space

nobody lives in my place

nobody feels the same way about anything

nobody knows what I know

nobody goes where I go

          nowhere is the one place we all share

 

nobody’s seen what I’ve seen

nobody’s been what I’ve been

 

nobody

gets me likes me loves me chooses me misses me caresses me feeds me feels me cures me completes me conquers me dares me supports me believes me knows me

 

nobody’s responsible for any of this but me

 

nobody’s to blame

for my shame my loneliness my anger my depletion my gloom my doom my failure my fear my mediocrity my cowardice my coldness my apartness

 

nobody can do anything for me

nobody can do anything to me

         

          but what I allow

    And what’s more, nobody can tell me why there’s such a thing as grocery store sushi. What could be worse? >
