Bad Guy
Challenge: Say it Plainly
i'm the bad guy
because my honesty
maker Your tongue sharper
it's me
because when i say
the wrong thing
Your blood boils
You can't contain
the heat
it's my fault
Your words pierce
through me
like a dagger
i'm to blame
for Your reactions
to my problems
and when You yell
until my cheeks are salty
Your eyes hollow
soul empty
i turn numb
the only thing i can be
i stare into nothing
as Your razor sharp words
get thrown at me
maybe this is where
i find internal peace
in the midst of chaos
as You trample my heart
i retract mentally
to be alone
~
when you talk to Others
you are totally different
you laugh and smile
but i do not exist
not in a world
where you are happy
and as i sit beside you
loneliness engulfs me
moments you love Me
are when I game with you
when I open my legs for you
but I am so numb
I feel nothing at all
no love
no pain
no joy
no shame
no fear
fuck...
I need to get out of here

The Portrait of Matteo
Seventeen-year-old Manny got off a public bus at a busy intersection in downtown Philadelphia. When the bus released its brakes and passed his narrow view, he checked whether the art museum across the street was still there. He had been visiting it every day that week but wondered for a second the veracity of its presence. Now, the spring sun betrayed its gray highlights, giving it a warm glow.
