Barely a woman

barely a fool

barely anything other than cruel

barely a wizard

barely a king

barely a rich’s man favorite kin

barely forgotten

barely let go

barley the cause of society’s woos

barely a sinner

barely a saint

barely a winner in society’s games

barely incurious

barely a star

barely loser who just went too far

barely a singer

barely a song

barely the hill to which all sorrows belong

barely a movie

barely the sea

barely anything other than me

surreal poetry

About the Creator

Julia Heussler

Likes to make the world laugh but prefers cries, unmistakenly dyslexic, hasn't drawn a perfect circle yet
