7th one about Jon (Free verse) by Plaidypus
What the fuck good is it
to be strong if you're alone?
I didn't ask for this trophy
I didn't WANT to have
a heart so hard
it could survive
your scurrilous bullshit
I am the peach-pit
spit-out, dark and naked
I follow the broken bottle trail
to the edge where the cliffs
are "unstable"
sit out and watch
the big stupid waves
swell and break,
one horrendous mistake
after another
and laugh at your weakness
and massage my strength
to intercede the emptiness
Swell and Break
the cycle of dreams
I didn't WANT to be wise
enough to realize
that you are lost
with a vague, blown-up goal
and nothing to show for it
I admit,
I'm a wave
striking the edge,
making you feel unstable
