Bragging Rights

I understand
your love
and I am un-wanting
to be occupied by
someone with
bragging rights
out of date
custodian of
something that
doesn’t matter
complaisant
in your job
too removed in what
needs to be done
dust and paint peel
I am new
yet there is
so much spread
deep within
these cracks
too much
to be ignored
I am not
a drive through
and in the distance
I can see
the NO
on the vacancy light
flickering

It's nice to know that some things never change. Wonderful!!

The only one that can hold you back is yourself.

A voice that screams,
and is heard.

Good one. Ring it out! Purge that out of there. Thank goodness we can write it all out. Loved this.
