Missme Poem by Lauren Miller

I've got a brain malfunction, an imbalance
I can hardly stand the silence
Waging wars without violence
Emotional firestorm, without a single word
Call me what you will as long as you speak loud
Be proud of the long list you can create
It's not original but if it makes you feel good who am I to judge
I suppose i would be the jury if I even bothered to care
Ive got you pinned with one stare
Can you stand long enough to hear the truth
Each word assaulting your body
Boring
Hits you in the knees, stumble forward
Incapable
Hits you in the chest
Broken
Blow to the head
No you can't even speak, head against the concrete
Now I feel real and alive
Your pity is not something I need
Neither am I fond of your disease
Your ideas you impose to the less bold
If you truly thought you knew me
You'd not have begun
Emotional firestorm
Should I spell it out for you?
Giant billboard?
Plane above your house?
Ive said it a thousand times and i cant move another measly word past my lips
You were just a shoot and a miss
