Catelyn Meeker Poet Rhyme

The Poison I Eat

You’re too old to remember 
how children play. 
You’re too young to forget, but
You’ll forget anyway. 

Seeking, dreaming of blue pills and
An old friend who’s on fire. Recalling
The moment I found out she was a 
Liar. 

Green haze and my best friend coughing 
On smoke, after which we dip our feet 
In the pool and let our bodies soak. 

I’ve loved only once, I’ve had many 
Friends lost. I’ve paid for my past and
Given all that it cost. 

White cloudy sky, white, thick pill 
In my hand. It will wash me in its 
Ocean and spit me out on the 
Sand.
