lingering in the lies of lady macbeth


could a shakespearean actor

truly have portrayed lady macbeth

or did she not get her due

until women were allowed to

 

can you who wait for help from on high

truly grasp the depths of my sigh

when i, like satre, believe

we are alone

no help is coming

 

the day is just the day

no plan is underway

the future holds no promise

just another sunrise

and time measured

by the rotation of the earth

 

hope will never know birth

there are just my actions

and what i set out to do

 

and if i succeed or fail

my mindset is still an, “Oh well”

because my status after my last breath

will have rendered all proceedings

meaningless

 

i do not ask you to believe

like me

who would want to

 

i just say your assessment of me can’t be true

if you believe something will intervene for you

you can’t grasp how i unclasp

and why my tales of my late night adventures

aren’t meaningful

because i don’t believe anything has meaning
