I Statement Poem by Jackie Chou

I Statement



I Statement

When you suffer, you become this crooked thing
my itchy fingers want to straighten, to fix

the apple Eve took a bite of-no longer whole
but a culprit of the fallen world, shattering

my ideal that everything needs to be perfect.

You lose solidity, turn into mud my hands
cannot contain, or a wildflower in the rain

longing for a home, anything but this selfish
demand for perfection.
