Amber Miller Poet Rhyme

I wish I could say to just stay away

stacking stones on top of bones
until i hear them crack
i never thought success would weigh
so heavy on my back
now these words i wished retract
still move towards the attack
I never thought each passing day
I’d waste away at that,

nights spent scheming 
and days spent dreaming
with these words ill be repeating
i must pull up the slack
its a fact, im stacking racks
tracking pacts, ive filled my sack,
but this doorway is intact,

i cant get out or rather shout,
“brace for some impact to clout,”
im devote,
defeated, decidedly im beaten
but theres one thing i wont say,
one flag i’ll never raise,
rather fly half-staff today,
then be taken up in chains,

i think this is my siren song,
my solemn silique,
i wish i had a better way
to warn not to be me
