I reject the words
of despair,
ennui
apathy,
words of abandonment,
words that smother
and drown
a searching soul
I reject the words
of death,
dejection
depression,
words that trick
and deceive,
words that reject
anarchy and action
I reject the words
that wrote
…this piece of poetry
Notes
- I was reading a lot of poetry during this time period.
- I’m still trying to reject those words. It’s not always easy!
