Waisted Blood
A Poem by Alicia Richey
When you're tired of holding back anger.
In manners of speaking
one who does not commit to wrath
exceeds to go down a powerful path.
But in other ways
one who holds in their saying
lives life in a miserable pain.
Attitudes get thrown at you like you're at the fifty yar line.
The exorcised truth slaps you like dry rain on a desert.
And you feel the negativity in the air.
So, why bother?
Why waist your blood,
biting your tongue on something that
you could've been done with.
Bit down so hard that you tasted
your own DNA circulating like saliva;
building up on your tongue.
The truth is in means to release
and probably strain the peace,
but in all ways,
I will prevent you from losing
blood from biting down on what
you're holding in to keep peace
from breaking into pieces
by ways of stress;
something you can't digest
because it runs in a thin red line
that continuously blinds.
In the beginning, no start at the end
the thoughts won't stop and your
mouth will be filled with blood,
again.
