ONE WORD
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
It is just one single damn word but yet the letters that spell the word have so much fucking power over me., not because of the meaning but because of the action blinding me so severely with anger and rage that I can no longer see maybe it was because zero fucks were given now the man is saying I'm the one whos sinning.
Let me step out of my comfort zone, even if I must walk alone. I might be an old dog, but I still know fitch a bone, and I got this fire burning in my soul and a hunger in my belly like I heard a song I want more life, fucker. I'm not done.
Take the noose made of that word from around my neck, for I will no longer allow it to break me, for I am more than they say I am; I can do more than they say I can do. They may have one word, but I got two f*ck you.
