Dear Writer of My Life Story

Personify me
Put some human-like qualities
to the tone of this body


Hyperbolize this soul
Add some exclamation points
make feelings times ten
I’m tired of this numbness


Put some alliteration
to make up this mix
set me to a beat
give me a rhythm to dance to


Add some symbols
turn this pain to scars already
I’m done writing poems
about fresh cuts


It’s easier to tell stories
about what’s already healed
I would tell my story, dear author
this masterpiece you’ve worked so hard on
my life.
