silence of the lambs

i don’t remember

what it was before

now;

chances are somethings were the same

just nothing that mattered.

i remember thinking

back then,

that i deserved what i got

if you didn’t work for it

like really work for it

than it wasn’t for you;

just not everyone gives equally

keeping you in the bottom of a well

to be mocked

to be trashed

to be reminded that they have you on a leash

and they control the slack.

i remember thinking

that those days

those days

were a peak.

they bury

you,

whether you’re out

sinking

or digging

that well isn’t for you

return

just waiting

by an ajar window,

listening to the flute player two floors up,

for a sign.

now;

it’s been two weeks

and the flute player is gone

window is closed and i found my lost muse.

friendship level one oh two

keeping the battle going

from an open window

thinking about that flute player and their return.

50 on rotten tomatoes

all based

on the truth i believed to be

true

but it’s true just to me

only the truth to me

makes it everyone else’s

thought

they’ll tell it to the next

make it gossip

words flowin’ like a faucet

not my truth is your

food for thought

starving from my own process

now this truth has never been true at all

just a story i lived

just fiction you read

just a movie you said

two out of five
