they will tell you
that you cannot do it
and they will be right
for you cannot now
with them there talking
but only untold
and willed
and alone
can you
have it done
*
they will say
that you can’t
and this is true
for you cannot
not yet
where you are
not ready
not supported
not what you need to be
when you need to be
away from them
with only yourself
to listen to
*
cannibalize creatures
you have conjured
to show them the real darkness
that you can inspire
*
i sometimes dread
things that no longer matter
like the flowers that died last season
or the bits of me that did too
watching them wilt
*
if only there was a chance
that if only wasn’t a chance
then i’d remain more than
the remains of i
after you left only if
you didn’t didn’t so much
