a break from hell

by

Heather Prudence Davis

pacing the floor wailing and waiting
for the new stabilizers to take effect
maybe i'll quit crying and get some rest.

thinking of how nice it must be
to begin freedom of me.
wishing it was as easy for me.

the simplicity in seeking someone new
hanging out, tenderly yet urgently kissing
neatly lying together throughout the night

if i could so conveniently escape myself
i would lie down with someone new
every day of the week.
all my faces could shine
one at a time.

i wanna burn it all up
beat it all down
turn everything black
it was never there
no weapon to hurt me with.
