Numbers, Damnit.

• Artist: Othien
• Description: Often times I use my poetry notebook to do little calculations when I can't do them in my head. And often times I write poems or stories to myself to remind me of things like not to do math in the book I promised I would only write important things in. Boom. This poem was born. Not really one of my favorites, but all my others are about communism.

Numbers, damnit!
Your emotions
Are surrounded
And obscured
By numbers!
Your heart, the words that tell
All of your victories and living hells are
Choked lifeless to the point of extinction.
By what?
NUMBERS, DAMNIT!
What promises you made
That lie: deserted, broken.
For you calculated and solved
By each poetic line spoken.
