PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Some people prefer

                    the fiction

                       over reality

All I do is recreate       

                         truth

                which is,

                   in effect, fiction

so it makes me wonder

why they can’t

deal with me

I’ll deal with them

but not on those terms

Whoring my soul

     to ease their minds

            I can not do it

                       will not do it

             No Siree!

for it is impossible

           and I don’t mind

                  telling you so

What you ask is beyond me

                     nor shall it

                          ever happen

You say don’t go so far

                   but I don’t think

               I’ve gone far enough

One of us has to change. . .

            . . .and I don’t think it’s me
