Promise Poem by Joseph Martin III

Promise

Rating: 4.5


A few years ago
I promised myself
to stop my silly suicide games.
At least while my parents
would have to bury me.

Sometimes
like a bathtub with its plug pulled,
when all colors run from my world
and it takes half a day
just to
decide
to take
a shower,
that promise is harder to keep.
