Everything you ever wantedA Poem by Maria BarnettOne day I catch
myself staring out the window soulless and broken,
couture means nothing now Jimmy Choo, names
mean nothing when you’re not really you. £200 an hour for my
therapist to tell me that I dream of sharks because I’m stressed
and I might be depressed but what could be the cause? I dream
of a sound other than Daisy’s barks to send me to sleep.
“I love you, I love you” screams my adoring fan, but when was the last
time someone who knew me said this, a man? And not on the
street, but in my home, in my bed, in my heart.
Never. Loved by so
many, but known by none.
Lights camera action,
cut cut cut, stop you’ve done it wrong
again, she wouldn’t smile with her teeth, stop,
cut, she’s American not Russian, work on your bloody
accents, how have you got this far if you shake before
every take, stop, breathe, cut cut cut your wrists because you’ve done it wrong again. © 2016 Maria Barnett |
