IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY…

on the outside looking in:
everything in order.
everything in place.

on the inside looking out:
dinner is catered,
never cooked.
what is paper?
what is plastic?
take a second look,
take a second,
to get your shit together!

you and your boyfriend
just got into a huge fight.
and this time,
a cigarette won’t
bring you peace.
has he lost his mind?

sex + death = betrayal                       sex that involves death                       sex only to feel
that’s unexplainable.                    close to the death of
a loved one…..

catered food won’t fill you now….like it ever.

no one can change how you feel.
no one can change your ways, of thinking.

& falling asleep,
wouldn’t be,
sweet dreaming.

more importantly,

where is he?

with her maybe?

her.

fake.

like these tree’s
surrounding these
plates.

Hey ya'll. I'm PoetKi, and currently I am getting my MA in Creative Writing at Kennesaw State University in GA, where I'm from. Atlanta to be exact! I love to write songs, interludes, poems, short fiction, and creative non-fiction that resonate with both male and female in a way that is relate-able, inspiring, and impactful, while also innocent, sensual, and urban. I am an open book, and I choose to share my story through my words so that anyone who is feeling/have felt the same way I did/do will ultimately connect and understand that they are not alone.

I am an artist looking to brand myself by expanding my connections with other creatives. I aspire to become a hit song maker, a well-known author, and a curator of spoken word events.

I hope you enjoy what you read, and I hope that we can work together in the future, possibly.
