would that the confusion be reconciled
the harsh sad waste not a waste
the years pining not a loss

free school

you used me

amazing and fresh and nondenominational
you neglected me
alienated me
faith giant failed to fill me in
then left to grow up alone

on my own
to learn to care for woman´s body

on my own
to care for infant´s needs

on my own
to navigate bureaucracy of welfare
the failure of the oneness
the weight of mental illness

the aftershocks of neglect

handouts

to fill needs faith giant failed to meet
faith failed to fill
fake faith failed to fill

Just for me

If I just wanted to write
And I wrote what I wanted
Would the readers want what I wrote?

If the pen penned the verse
And the screen mirrored terse
Would it free us indebted serfs?

Would words stir the fallout
And the hearts voice curt curses
If voice was given to mind?

If sweaty palms and palpitating
Beat not fingers to retreat
But fought to shape taboo to display
And give voice to shaky beliefs
Would conscience sigh relief
However brief
If writing were just for me?
