What I Neglect To Learn

Heartbreak is not the type of thing
one should scavenge
off the side of the road;
pain is not a commodity,
a back-stage pass to
the people you aspire to be.
Not all that you see is for your
bleeding teeth and starving heart:
the flowers are allowed
to bloom for themselves,
people can be happy without
your saccharine intentions and
“Reflections” Matthew Koszuta

Letting your heart beat
the breath from your lungs
won’t get you further away from
the part of you that you’ve
deemed a monster.
