feeling fierce

To haters and fake friends:

I’ll snap you off
like an overprotective brother
like summer velcro
like a greedy weed

I’ll block you out
like a sidewalk shadow
like a healing bruise
like a toilet unclog

I’ll evaporate your presence
like an invisible scar
like uneaten cake
like trimming split ends

I’ll forget you later
like yellowed polaroids
like a misplaced eyelash
like a swollen dream.
