Not really…

Terrifying poem. Melanie is a wonderful poet and her words always force me to FEEL. I love that about her work.

Wordifull

pacing

she collects her thoughts

to stow them away

in the bottom desk drawer

along with her individuality

and her creativity

she has no use for them any longer

it doesn’t pay to think here

no one wants to hear her opinions

now that she has resigned herself

to that reality

maybe she can fit in

maybe life here will be more bearable

as part of the herd

~Melanie Thomason
