FREEDOM


how tired I am 
     of having a bruise where my mouth should be
     from biting back my desires

how tired I am 
     of trying to please a nameless omnipotent  you 
     and never being enough

how tired I am
     of you being lodged in my head
     this is your eviction notice
     because I don’t need your shit
     I am closing your door and burning your trash
     I want nothing left of you

how tired I am 
     of you bringing me down

how ready I am
     for my freedom
