i need to throw a pity party


cry and
scream and
yell and


sob with a birthday hat perched atop my head
curse the days as they come
along with the ones that have passed

 

i pity myself and
the world and
all we will become

 

throw a party of anger,
smashing of cakes

 

then sweep the crumbs back under the rug
and force myself to stand back up
