Let Me Be

Janet Kuypers, 09/01/09

there’s love at one side of the spectrum
there’s hate at the other side
and then
in the middle
there’s indifference

indifference, apathy
lack of anything

that’s that in-between space

after we broke up
I drank too much at bars
getting too angry
getting too depressed
and now I want to live my life
and I swear, I want you to be no part of it

and it’s not because
if I see you I’ll lash out at you
and it’s not because
I inherently
desperately want you back
and it’s not because
I’m busy comparing you
to what I could have
it’s because

I have better things to do

and you’re in the way
because there is so much I could do
I could jump pout of an airplane
I could write a novel
I could make my first million in the Stock Market
well, it could happen
I could take the stage
I could take a shower
I could file my nails
I could fall asleep

I could do
whatever I want
and I want to make it clear
I’m finally free from you
and I mean that
in the physical sense
in the intellectual sense
in the molecular sense

I mean

I’m free of you

so please

get me out of your head

let me be
