Thirst
”
Bruised from bumping shoulders, an empty pass lit up wander
No sips of mercy for parched lips under the harsh white sky.
Your intense desire to twist open water-taps and cry
for people to accept you, to like you—makes
the trudge—trembles your knocking knees and sandals—scream
with sand rubbing raw between the brittle straps. Fie!
Sometimes your effort for the walk
for projects, especially relationships—they don’t work,
but the fault is yours, you change!
you don't like limitations in what you can do.
The sky is dry now, so you cease to be loud
but fountain times you flow, into the crowd
of bubbling laughter and intoxicating smiles
.
But you are lonely now.
“You are an independent thinker who takes pride in doing things differently than others.”
“You can be overly harsh on yourself and very critical.”
“Although you do have some weaknesses, you try very hard to overcome them and be a better person.”
