“The words of a poet unraveled” khatoon hazara ||| 3:16pm fri. 4.12.19

Here was I

A gentle chocolate coated alibi

Ready

Lying in wait

For the next dinner plate

I’ve already smitten you once

Made you believe I was the kings daughter

A world on top of a world on top of everything

Handed to me by a silver platter

Here I am to tell you

That once again

I am not impressed by your careless acts and your foil printed words laced with mink faux fur

Nor will I be fooled into a trap, luring me with a bit of cheese on the end of a ten foot fishing pole

You will never see me whine

Cry

Degrade myself any further than what you’ve progressed to do 

I will only rise

And rise I must from these ashes of dust you’ve made me out to be

I am no longer in your care

No longer am I... in your care.
