This weekend I remembered to check back on my goals for this year, and realized I have not been making too much progress lately, especially with regards to any writing! That made me sad because I had been making some good improvements last month, so it's unfortunate that I didn't keep up the effort!
As a result of these reflections, I did a bit of jotting down notes, and want to see if I can solidify a few poems this weekend. I've already got one!
I've been needing to blow off some steam, so this is a little bit angrier than what I usually write. The disdain is a little potent.
"millstones"
I've had enough with him
just like all the others.
I don't believe you, he says.
That's not my affair, I say.
I don't believe you, he says.
You smile too much to know your own truth.
We're all one-trick ponies, I remind him,
and I'm a fool--- I grin in the face of fear.
Any you're good for mewing.
I tell him through the flames.
I try to show him how I'm made of marble.
but he still clings round my knees,
beaming, like a man.
one of these days I'll learn what's good for me
and I'll crush his bones
under my leaden feet.
until then, swing low, my burdens.
