Messed Up, Sad, Lonely

CreativePoetryPoetPoem
Written By Gloria Nyagaka

I trace
My fingers
It lingers
Blood between my teeth
From slaps

I trace
My fingers
Through lines
Of memories
Through boundaries
Of childhood
Isolated
Messy
Sad
Sometimes,
Lonely,
Sometimes,
Happy and creative
All the times,
Pain.
I say,
Oh, messed up times
But, I say
It could've made great scenes
Perhaps,
Movies,
Perhaps,
Passages,
Of books
I laugh, painfully.
