Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

I cannot see
the forest for the trees
my vision obscures
the leaves encroach

I cannot hear
the truth in the clamour
my heart is a drum
my ears eat the thunder

I cannot taste
the tears of victory
my mouth will not open
my appetite absconds

I cannot touch
the stars that entice
my path eludes me
my darkness leads

I cannot smell
the roses that beg pause
my words are thorns
my thoughts black earth

I cannot know
what refuses to be known
my mind is a question
the answers refuse

It’s okay
push me away
if I’m a threat
to your peace of mind

It’s okay
turn your back
if I’m the cause
of some sorta flack

I’m okay
with your disrepect
your false smiles
and instant reject

Push the button
and then I’m gone
Never happened
unsung that song

Time ain’t nothin’
and neither am I
just someone
who apparently died

I don’t really have anything to say
My clever words won’t come out to play today
My heart and soul can’t find its way
to entertain you.

My head won’t think
my eyes don’t blink
I’m not in the pink
sorry…nothing to see here.
