Because
April 17, 2022
I am writing
because.
Because they told
me poetry was beauty not
pain.
Because they called
it rot and poison. unfit for
eyes.
Because they named
it disgraceful without a real
chance.
Because they took
my words and locked them away from
me.
Because maybe
if I drown you in my ink it
will stop my own gasping for
air.
