The Closet

Mike Umhra

i was scared of you, An object that houses so many instruments of pain

They hung in order from length size and color

Brown black beige

Leather, the buckle the buckle i scream

i prayed for dull versus sharp

i showed you my might,

with me restraining my sniffles

I Hate you, I pray for my time to overcome you

But I couldn’t I was weak, but so so strong

As I was instructed to pick the object who has no feelings;

I question how it can cause so much pain

Time and Time you beat me

Time and Time you try to break me

I screamed but I am silent you can feel my might, you won’t break me

You can’t get reactions, ‘cause I had left, you couldn’t touch my spirit

I transcend, I move forward

Loyal to a fault, I don’t hate you, I pity you.

 

Father

You were my first lesson what people can do
