Live
six
Wake up
at half eight
to what sounds like
a party.
My mind is
not ready for this
mayhem.
Walk downstairs
to be greeted by
a bunch
of pissed up
college kids.
My roommate’s home.
Wonder why
she thought now
was a good time
to through a damn party
when she knows
what happened and how
I’m not ready yet.
Worry tumbles through
my mind
as I try to find her,
tell her to stop,
tell everyone to leave
but before I can do that
her gleaming face greets me
with a drink.
Jade! I’m so glad you’re awake.
Here, have a drink,
enjoy yourself,
live!
