i won't write a sad poem

i won't write a sad poem
sad poems betray everything
so helplessly honest
breaking down in large wet tears
unmindful of who's watching, who can see
stupid sad poems
fat women
plopping down on sidewalks
skirts riding up thighs
puddles of make up running away
from faces too hideous, contorted
no, i won't write that woman
sad poems are not beautiful
really
i won't write a wound turning green
teenage acne
a broken toilet flush
i won't write it
