Proclaimation of Independence

by Nicole M. - Gemini

This freshwater, blue pearl bracelet
Feels more like handcuffs-
This lilac satin thong
Is more like a chastity belt-
The cell phone in my Versachie bag
Is just a tracking device-
The king sized, pillow top bed
Is just the checkbook I pay my bills with-
Your four bedroom house with pool
Is a luxury jail cell-
These volumes of poems I've written
Is a reminder of who's life I'm really living-
The glasses, the wine
All means for the poison-

There's no value to any of it~

I rip the handcuffs from my wrist
Crashing them against the wall, making sure to break them-
From beneath this black skirt
I unlock my chastitybelt-
I turn off the tracking device
Inside the microwave-
I cancle my checking account
My debt is paid-
I unlock the cell gate-
Burn my poetry,
Take one final drink
and die.
