Literature Text

Forgotten muse,
drowned in the still water by the train track.
No memories.
No feelings.

Hey, Muse, it seems like you and I have lots to talk about,
like how my bruises never seem to heal
and your words open new wounds on my chest
every single time you open your mouth to utter nonsense
that we call poetry.

Once upon a time,
I told you to shut up.
(Yes, I always was an ungrateful little brat that would forget about blessings and only remember the curses)
I never wanted to be a princess,
Don't want to be rescued, because there's something in me
not even the bravest knight can defeat.
(My monsters are mine to kill, anyway)
Poetry hurts more than you can imagine.
