My name is Cassie.  I'm weird.  I'm stupid, annoying, ugly, and paraniod.  I have a low self-esteem.  I like socks.  I'm in love with nature.  I think rain storms have a way to be beautiful.  I'm still questioning love.  My name is Cassie.

'how to smother a poet'

I tuned off the one lightbulb
dangling from the popcorn ceiling
  [nothing to illuminate,
    only thoughtless poetry
    taped on peeling wallpaper.]
No thoughts to inspire, except from the ones that
pulled the sea out of my eyes.

Sit.  Stare.  Good girl.
leash around my abilities
like a shock collar to my soul,
zap when I attempt to laugh
    [slow development of teenaged mind,
    body is faster]

memorized verses slowly shiver
creep creep creep down my spine;
click of popcorn ceiling lightbulb
sun explodes,
ink smoking like a cigarette, numbing killer silence
for the pen is mightier than the sword.
