Style: Poetry
Statement: I wanted to experiment with capitalization and font size to emphasize certain words that parallel the poem's message. By not making the specific situation concrete, I invite readers to immerse themselves in the poem and find their own connections and meanings.
if I placed your heart in my Purse
would you rob me of my clothes Too?
i stroll through the mall wincing at the superficial Models shopping for a way to eradicate your Hostility
can you truly enjoy a pie if you only like the Crust?
crossing my mind without Waiting for the Signal
you Force every car to Halt for you
so you may Stomp back and forth Across the street
the street that leads into the Freeway of my mind
claiming ownership of me, Feeding your vanity
you compliment me, praise my Radiant smile
Yet it is you entrapped in a forest
unable to feel the sunlight of my genuine happiness
I finally solved the maze
The maze you built around your true intentions
To find a Sephora at the end
Now I'm the idiot with a face slathered with paint meant to appeal to You
When you give me your heart
i Know I have to watch out
waiting for the day you decide to take it Back leaving me with less than I started with don’t Freeze when I'm gone
leaving me with less than I started with
don’t Freeze when I'm gone
