Look what I found

[melanonymous]

So today I was digging through some of my art stuff from college and found a couple poems in a sketchbook along with art class notes, sketches, etc.  I think I must have been pretty bored that day and somewhat depressed, because they are not very happy.  Still, I like them, so I am sharing...

Untitled (can YOU think of one?)

Would you allow
me the pleasure
of removing
myself from
your presence?

I am not
certain that
I can abide,
much longer,
the foul
cacophony
you are emitting.

crying

i am crying
inside
where no one sees.
at least not you.

i am crying
outside
where everyone sees.
especially you.

while I cry
you are smiling -
because you don't know why
i am crying
everywhere
all because of you.
