I scribble across the scarred page,
etching individuality onto
empty and expressionless paper.
I spill out all my pent-up rage-
wounds become see-through,
my tears developing into a vapor.
It’s over as quickly as it had begun
my fingers in frantic motion,
in pursuit of earning another dime.
I await their praise, their “well done”,
while I avoid raw emotion
and attempt to create polished rhyme.
Well said!
