Haunted

Poetry day 10/31

You can carry your ghosts
all of them
inside of your chest
if you must
if it keeps you alive
keeps that heart beating with purpose
keeps the blood flowing, the anger pulsing
thump thump thump
keeps you getting up each day
or
look in the mirror
the answers are there
on your face
if only you’d look at them
and bury your dead
