Poems from Karis Elle
When I look at myself in the mirror
and think that I could destroy the world
and graffiti the sky
all in a single day
I leave...
I.
Our bond was of a different kindbut now I feel it fading.
We used to dream up worlds together,sing songs of different eras, of...
“Sticks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me,”
and I call bullshit
to whomever spouted such folly...
We all have problems
different though they may be.
But if you tell someone their problems
don't matter—
...
We are
day-to-day here, surviving off
coffee and energy drinks
and herbal teas passed like drugs
beneath the lunch table...
