![]() PoltergeistA Poem by Kathryn SmithI started all the wars I started all the wars I've been getting messages from my deep waters I'd be a resentful caretaker Blame me for your false indicators You've mistaken all my mistakes for my crooked nature They keep saying We want to save you From yourself Your Self Protect you What? What do they see? One thing is for certain They cannot see her Instead What is she to them? A poltergeist? Rude Loud Obnoxious Too proud Their words made her feel Like a monster Water fills her bedroom It rises Objects and ridiculous thoughts Levitate over their heads It seeps into their minds So they chain her down Shut the door She just wanted more More life Love Choice As their poltergeist She is empty Longing to be A woman who has her own mind In flesh and bone Are they blind? She is kind Let her live Let her shine Let her die Guilt free
Never will she ever Be controlled
