#82

I've stopped
Requesting
Wanting
Needing
Anger is a gift
They said
But pain is a privilege
And so is sadness
For those who can still
Afford to feel
And when the time is
Right
Choose to kneel
So when you say
It sparks nothing
When you say my arms
Are no shelter
Bereft of comfort
And my feet are more worn
And weary than the eyes
And the mouth that
Gave you away
You have only
Yourself
To blame
