bossy

Her friends did not have it easy
They not only had to
read the books she liked
But also like them
just as much as she did
And to feel exactly
as much excitement as her
about every little twist
Follow its rambling mysteries
through all its mazes
not get tired by its
soporific elements
and be enlightened at the end
exactly as she is


yes, tall orders
and yes,
very difficult to follow

but she lived in oblivio
of how much it bothered
the people around her

she only wanted
to please herself

but one fine day
she realised that
trespassing other people's
boundaries to please herself
was not allowed
was not right

she would have to learn
to stop doing that

so she would rescind
the octopus tentacles
that she sent out
to hug people to suffocation

instead,
coil them around herself
and suffocate herself instead

so much so that
she bled in ink
