I Need Some Room

“I Need Some Room”

Room.

Room.

I need some room.

I slam my elbows against the corners,

Of the universe.

Slamming.

Screaming.

I need some room.

    

My need is not perfect,

It may not fit in your experience,

So your advice and wisdom,

May not track.

By all the light,

From inside this dark.

Am I dancing barefoot?

Across a life of broken glass?

 

I’m not you,

So how could you ever see.

Just how deeply,

This cut into me.

Room.

Room.

I need some room.

I slam my elbows against the corners,

Of the universe.

Slamming.

Screaming.

I need some room.
