Give Me A Tragedy Poem by Maya Hanson

Give Me A Tragedy



If you want art
give me a mess,
give me a tangle of lives

I can't make sparks
with perfection and puzzle pieces.

If you want a mountain
give me a valley,
give me hopelessness and black

I can't wish
good into better.

If you want change
give me a time bomb,
a collision beyond time and space

I need rebels to
make a ripple or a splash.

If you want a story
give me a tragedy,
hand me something I can work with

I can't build a castle
out of beautiful words.
