    No Better Than I

    Because I’m not responsive or hateful, despiteful
    You say I am above everyone else
    Been dead for awhile, but I know I didn’t quit.
    You’ve been going down
    While I’m heading up.
    When the crowd’s around they don’t make a sound.
    Now I know how it feels to bleed.
    You’re no better than me.
    I’ve felt the pain and cried the shame at full speed.
    We’re both the same.
    Took the blames.
    Are you happy?
    You’re just like me.
    Not behind me, but equally.
    And every time we break up we make up
    Too choked up and then I wake up
    Finding myself alone — drying to the bone.
    You’re no better than me.
    I had enough — took it rough
    All the suffering nearly killed me
    And I plead softly as I hit the floor;
    Can’t take anymore.
    You’re too weak.
    Do you see yourself when you see me?
    I know that it eats you alive
    Makes you want to cry
    Fall on both knees and grieve
    Next to you is where I’ll be.
    Cry out loud knowing I would
    Be on my own where I could breath
    Finally free from the people who
    Don’t bring hope, but tragedy.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
