After it was over

I could smoke and I felt sick.

Full of nothing (Full of yourself you gassy whore)

And it’s not a choice

I can live with is it?

I killed and did so

Because I didn’t know what else to do

And I can’t take it

Back I can’t ever take

This back.

I should be plucked off and thrown away

By those who did not want me.

And I am sorry to those that were let

Down or to those that could have held you…

I need help.

About the Creator

Cherri Bird

Of everything I am, poet is the first thing that I've ever wanted to be. Writing is something that comes naturally to me and I love using pen and paper to process what happens in the vast circus between my ears.
