Crush It.
by kalika

i hold violence in my hands so i can crush it.
like citrus in a damn Sunkist, 
i love it.
rinds of benevolence just can’t cut it.
can’t quit this; 
can’t rise above it,
cause the juice is worth the squeeze.
poisoned orange intravenously,
fruit of the poisonous tree;
peel back what’s inevitably 
flowing cold inside of me.
my anger chills righteously— 
hellish from the seventh to ninth zone.
so-da freeze’s frigid to the depths 
of my spinal bones 
close to my heart; 
can i kill the bicarbonate spark?
so-di-um salt tears can’t boil over 
as acid starts to depart, 
leaving a mark. 
like angry chem-trails grieving the sky;
sickening all that can’t bear to say goodbye.
pop another top, squash it with a sigh.
addicted to the misery, to the high—
to sugary sweet trickery,
and i don’t know why.

crush it.

poisoned orange intravenously,

fruit of the poisonous tree;

peel back what’s inevitably

flowing cold inside of me.

my anger chills righteously—

hellish from the seventh to ninth zone.

so-da freeze’s frigid to the depths

of my spinal bones

close to my heart;

can i kill the bicarbonate spark?

so-di-um salt tears can’t boil over

as acid starts to depart,

leaving a mark.

like angry chem-trails grieving the sky;

sickening all

that can’t bear to say goodbye.

pop another top, squash it with a sigh.

addicted to the misery, to the high—

to sugary sweet trickery,

and i don’t know why.

On Purpose

On Purpose

what is a purpose anyways??

a dogma turned down for felicity’s sake?

a word to the wise paraphrased,

into which the world buys initially by mistake?

what is your purpose for really??

to use “truth” to skirt around morality?

saying youth aren’t wise to query;

to spew worthless lies then deny adamantly?

what does your purpose mean to you??

dusty words representing their world’s maker?

protection for all you’ve been through,

is it a mechanism preventing failure?

what does your purpose say about you??

does it help people understand or hound you?

a version of you that sprouts true,

does it reveal what you haven’t amounted to?

“purpose” — does it truly serve us?

does this notion do a disservice to some?

it’s a thought we shouldn’t purchase..

if purpose’s value’s worthless or “zero sum.”
