For Her

Reminds me of the song, 'Maybe Just Happy' by Nirvana, for some reason. Oh well. It's about a person that I know. Unfortunately.

.............

Their blank, probing eyes,
Boring holes through my skull,
So they can crawl through and look and examine
Like maggots.
Do they like what they see?They would sell
Their soul for a piece of gossip.
Or someone else’s.

Maybe they already have.

Intoxicating me with chemicals,
Turning me into
A dangerous reactive substance.
Their empty questions,
Calculated to hurt,
They pinch at my soul.

If I am happy
With everything,
Why should you
Continue to question
My feelings.
Can’t I be content?
Does it hurt you to see me happy?

Your blank staring eyes,
Questioning my soul,
They have no right to be there.
You don’t belong in my world,
And
I don’t belong in yours.
Never have, never will.

Sorry I had to mention maggots. I'm repulsed by worms, maggots especially, they make my skin crawl. But it worked for this poem and that's really all that matters. It's hot off the press, so to speak, so it might not be the best.

Have a good Saturday night.
