Let Me Be
September 14, 2014
God damnit let me be
This will be the last time I spit in your
face.
Sylvia calls it aryan but I call it satan
All brown and eternally staring
Drilling a hole through the back of my
head
Bouncing off the window behind me
All the way to the black sticky spinal
fluid that some call a soul
I call it the e n e m y
I shut the mirror and go to school.

This is a piece that I wrote during a very dak period in my life. I was angry with myself and stuck in a spiral of self-destruction. In hindsight, this poem represents the sum of my feelings during those years of depression.
