Typical Thursday in the kingdom of the disillusioned.A Poem by Sarah McKeever HittTypical Thursday in the kingdom of the disillusioned, all is on the up and up The man who is trying not to stare at me could care less If he is found out by my incredible powers of observation. I would walk right out the door right now Kiss a stranger and ask him if he would like to love me But as it stands I am a kept servant to the king of the fools Just as you want, it is done. The people around the block must find it hilarious Seeing the mess you have made of things And how I take the broom up in my hand fear not, I will sweep up all the filth And make the floor shiny and clear But I can’t say that I still love you. Or if I ever really had. Love, to have to hold and to cherish I am not so sure that anyone really ever cherished you, except maybe nasty women who haunt you in your dreams. That’s just what you planned though isn’t it? How you must relish the fact that the world bows to you And those of us who know better, carry your luggage While hiding our disdain. And you stand on your mountain top Searching for me and making sure I am still there And everytime I tell myself, to pack up my morals And run as far away from you as I can, I weep Because I hate you so much sometimes And if my heart weren’t spending so much time breaking for you I would have more time for breathing But as it stands, those those wishes are not reality And I remain but a servant With you as my ruler in a land of never never © 2011 Sarah McKeever Hitt |
