The Prophet Of June, On To Conquer July
“June is my month to grieve-“
It wasn’t supposed to be a prophecy
That boy was not supposed to die
And it wasn’t supposed to hurt this much
My aunt was not supposed to be the drunk
Running out of a burning house
My uncle was not supposed to be the arsonist
Our friendship was supposed to blossom and flourish
Not be cut at the bud, tossed and forgotten
We were set to conquer the world
Not be caught up in it
It was supposed to be like two years ago
When a teenage boy was still alive, and marriages were still intact, and we-
We were the ultimate duo.
“June has left me lonely”
It wasn’t supposed to be a prophecy
Quotes: “Dumb Truths: by Dumb Girl: vi” “existing as a day: ii”

love the poem’s structure of “wasn’t supposed to” and contrasting “was supposed to”
This one brought tears 🙏🏻
