#PoetryPower: Last Laugh by @ChelseaDeVries

I wrote this poem last week about some oppression I was dealing with. Yet, I hope you can take this poem as inspiration for whenever life presses you up against a wall.

Love Times Infinity,

Last Laugh

I know a girl

who lives a jubilantly dismal life

inside her saggy

broken, taped on one side,

cardboard box

Her stuff is scattered

here and there

except the seeds of her memories

those are scattered

underneath the bridge 

she used to live under

that two coyotes

took over.

Who knew on the

 search to find

yourself

you'd find yourself

out in the cold

And the people 

you once loved

with all your heart 

would do absolutely

anything

say anything

just to cut you down,

rip your dreams apart.

A knife wielded ; a failed attempt

to stand up 

for 

your worth

but now the 

coyotes still get

the last laugh

The do nothings

always have so much to say

but the do somethings 

can do nothing but

prove them wrong.
