bitter is not sweet

there are certain things that rile me up
like people who stare
and early hours though i
cannot sleep nights
because i stay up awake thinking of things that
rile me up there are certain things
that pin me down and squeeze away my breath
like men who steal me away and
music
and words
words

they are not just fucking words to mess
around with and they are not meant to be taken
away from me
my words

there are certain things that
make me sick
like wet socks and people who
play music without understanding music
and then there is
