Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Blah Blah

blah blah blah blah blah
my eyes glaze over and you don’t notice or care
blah blah blah blah blah
permission denied to use my headspace for waste disposal

blah blah blah blah blah
I keep desperately hoping this will all soon end
blah blah blah blah blah
how can you live with all that crap building up inside
infesting every corner of your darkened mind
looks to me like a pus infected bubbling cauldron

blah blah blah blah blah
for God’s sake open the window and let some sun in
blah blah blah blah blah
let that putrid and rancid air escape
I see your blood pressure escalating
all I can do is shake my head

your spirit is trapped under that pile of rubbish
blah blah blah blah blah
totally impervious to your dire need of an intervention
overwhelmed with your exponential decline

I don’t know how I can help set you free
you’ll never find your way out
until you realize your demons are within
and you really do hold the options to free yourself

Patricia Cresswell September 30, 2017 at 12:25 PM It is downright scary being around people like that because they are infectious. Run! A very apt description. Line Gauthier September 30, 2017 at 2:44 PM I hear you. I certainly have run when I could. Best wishes from sunny Ottawa.
