Castigation

He tries my patience so, Vomitting fire all the time, I have to say no, I think. I have to give it back to him. Bile rises in my throat Threatening to spill out But I cannot be like him Pathetic Irrational like him So, I calm my nerves I try to tell myself, I am not him, and I cannot be like him I think of my gods Of a serene place to erase the screams. But I cannot but wonder, I have become like the women I help I tell them stand up, for the self, not take any shit from any man's manliness I tell them not to suffer I tell them to take hold of their lives But here I am trying hard to think of a serene place, to erase the screams.

Free

To take flight To walk away, Take the next bus to Wherever. Disentagled, From bonds Of tie ups, Of unsatisfied relationships Of wants And heartaches Just free. Free me From this cycle Which binds To people To souls. From a forever From the breath Of peace Of longings and desires, Just, Free me.
