Talking that talk

Out loud proud and misunderstood

By 5enxPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

It is:

Selfish, cold, nasty, harmful, terminal…you.

I am:

Washed, worn, bulleted, magnet for attention, ripe…me.

We could:

Never be, never fuck, never love, never understand, be memorable or important or paired…us.

Sometimes I wanna say what it is.

Outloud it’s never heard

Dick is my love language

Maybe it was your bi-karma.

Whore. Daddy. Mustard seed…honesty.

I don’t feel; I drink and smoke and emotion drip.

Womanly.

Holy koolaid in my words.

Not everybody will hear me; OUTLOUD inside my tiddy nipple.

Good morning speech.

Alligator shoes and cornbread squares.

Relationships that aren’t right are tenderly silent.

…and I’m still not heard.
