From the suburbsA Poem by wickedcharmThey call me Nothing.They call
me Nothing. They call
me Stranger, Wicked, they call me Fear. I am the
girl In the back of the pub, sitting right there, next to Mad Jimmy. I am the girl in the back of the pub, sitting right there, drinking my whiskey. I am the
girl in the back of the pub, crossed legs and thin arms, red dress that hugs my
waist ever-so-slightly and confidence that peels out my flesh. I am the
one who is made of skin and bones, carved in blood and loneliness, torn apart
by life. I am a
pariah. I am the
girl you call at nights when you want a warm bed. I am the
girl whose bones stick out a little too much, whose eyes bear nothing but
contempt and indifference towards other human bodies and whose heart was
dropped ten feet underground. I am the
girl whose corpse was found in the motel room you used to share with your other
conquests, the girl with PTSD, the girl called: “body found dead at 4 am”. I am the buzz
in your head the sweet vanilla essence that accompanies that young women that
have entered right now this place and the sweat and grunts that come from the
room upstairs. I am the
core between your legs. I am the
ruthless mind of an assassin, I am a mastermind, I am God, and I am the feeling
in your chest that you get when you climb on top of a hill and watch how the
sun sets down and the morning turns into night. And so they
call me Nothing. Because I
am only the vague illusion of fear, of strangeness, of doubt, of pain, of
melancholy and of utter bliss. © 2015 wickedcharm
