Beyond The Hole (May 14, 2016)

Am not

A vengeful person

Given the path

My life has

Been forced

To follow.

Nor

Do I seek it.

Instead

Have internalized

This very negative

And destructive energy

Within my body.

Surprising people

At the release

Of my anger

At someone.

As if

Mt St Helen's

Had exploded

Without warning.

Honestly

Am very willing

To overlook

A lot of things

And move on.

And yet

People are shocked

Never seeing

The tattletale signs

Of an impending venting

Before them.

Am I

So opaque

No one sees

Anything?

Or being taken

For granted.

Like Mikey

In the old Life cereal

Commercials.

Who'll eat

Anything

Placed

Before him.

Damn

These pigeonholes

That people place us

Into.
