I Don't Want Understanding

I want no one to hear my poems

I want no one to understand

I know pain and heartache make life

but gosh I want to make something grander

than angsty poems I don't believe in.

 

Yes, expression is important,

yes I love myself,

But love is mantinence and breaks

and right now I need more mental health

to continue to find something I believe in.

 

No death's not the end,

no life is important,

But the only person reading these poems

should see their impotence,

because I don't believe in them.

 

Maybe someone will find them,

maybe someone will love them,

but I hate these verses

and their laudinum-

like effects that try to make me believe them.

 

They are leaving my body

to seek out new hosts,

they are leaving my mind

so I can seek out some release.

Good bye little one, they call,

good luck finding belief.
