Angelica Tao Poet Rhyme

Prison Nights

I guess my future is not divine. 

I guess this place is just fine. 

For me to stay awake like a traveling plane. 

That will touch down eventually, and the doors will open with pain. 

I remember that day in the waiting room. 

When I realized I wouldn’t go home to be consumed-

By the people who see me as rotten. 

If I sleep, I will be forgotten!

When I woke up in the prison-

I realized I wanted to go to sleep again.

But my cravings keep me awake. 

When I close my eyes I feel the shakes. 

I guess this is what it is to be banished. 

And for my belongings to vanish.
