Bed Poems
Move
by Moesha Brisonette
I don't want to get up.
I don't want to move.
I know eventually someone is going to come in and tell me to move.
I can't stay there forever, they will say.
If you stay there, the world will pass you by.
You won't fall in love or have your first Kiss.
I won't try to convince them otherwise way, they won't believe I am tired.
Tired of moving, the world they claim will pass me by as being sucking me dry,
beating me at every turn, not a decent moment to love nor laugh.
The world hates and they know, but they think I lie when I show it.
