L'esprit D'escalier (The Spirit of the Staircase)
June 3, 2013
My life is plagued
by the things I thought
to say too late
by the silent arguments
that I have with myself
by the tears I bite back
by the curses I mutter
only to myself
but I guess...
I guess that's okay
because it gives me
something to hold onto
something to be angry about
because these days
that's what keeps me going
I feel like I'm living
in a silent film
and the audience jabbers away
they think I have nothing to say
when really,
I am bursting at the seams.
