why'd they put a bookshelf over the picture?
is it a picture at all?
just the frame is staring at me
peeking out from behind the bookshelf
is it some award that they're not proud of?
or an uncle that they're not proud of?
were they just too lazy to take it down?
or was the bookshelf something hurried?
why'd they put a bookshelf over the picture?
is it somebody they'd like to forget?
would they feel bad if they threw it away?
would others judge if they threw it away?
do they care what others think?
and do they care that the frame is staring at me
peeking out from behind the bookshelf
it whispers to me
yelling quietly
as it stares at me
peeking at me
whispering at me
"don't be me"
