Poetry: Identity

by Kimberly Richardson

Created on: November 16, 2009


Concentrate.

Slow and supple, strained

Beyond limits imposed by

The weak minded.

She told me that it would

Be difficult to believe

But once I did, the rest would

Be nothing.

I carried my own thoughts

Into the proverbial mixture,

Thinking that I had

A chance of redemption.

Instead, I found bitter virgins

Crying to a dead god,

Wondering why their eyes bled.

She told me that I was special,

Filled with stuff that made

others angry. And what

Kind of gift, I asked, would

That be?

Concentrate till everything

Is Indigo, she replied,

For nothing is what

It seems.
