Five Small Peeks Inside

by Rich Soos / November 13th, 2016

1 what a nothing

I am
sitting here in this courtroom
with others arguing my future

2 accuser

I write your name
in my notebook
just for the pleasure
of erasing you

3 faith

I invest my future
in hope to undo
constant authority
deciding my life

4 despair

I work hard to hide it
from all but my notebook
why give them the pleasure
to know I suffer

5 instead

of fighting nature
gluing petals on flowers
accept the winter
