POUND OF FLESH OR AN EMPTY SLATE

 



It's not like I don't have an aim

I'm just aimless

Like having money doesn't mean you wanna go places

It just takes you there


I've seen you rigorously promote yourself

doing justice to life and the meaning you chose to give to it

I choose not to, my ink is different

when it dries there will not be invisible messages

the space I occupied will be

just as blank as before I was born

for I've chosen to forgive all 


And to do that

I've chosen to erase my memories

how can I have written anything at all on my slate

when by forgiving time erased itself?


you never hurt me

And I never lived.
