I watched
a cigarette burn in my hand today
I couldn’t
help thinking that the ashes were my life
aimlessly
blowing away
I watched
it burn
until there
was nothing left
I ceremoniously
shriveled and threw away the butt
And I kept
thinking,
This is
not where I want to be
Emotionally
distraught
I’m tired
of being
What others
need to see
Good ‘ole
happy go lucky me
So good
at being
Someone
else
Anyone
But me.
