ATIMA (not a poem)
I'll admit it,
I don't have the guts to call out your name
And make a headline,
The one that everyone skips in the local daily
So I'm putting it here 'cause you can't yet just bury me.
Thinking about you makes me feel useless
Because I thought... I could OUTSHINE my old self
(For you)
But you make me feel like a fool!
On the way home
It took temperance to not let those tears out
I told myself "it's okay, IT'S ALRIGHT"
Thinking it'd save me some spite
Oh, but, for how long could I lie?
As soon as I saw the gate
I ran inside
Bolted the door
And streams of water were down my face
Like, the clouds had been wanting to cry for a decade
But... its only been two days.
Why do you have to be SO ruthless, what'd I do?
'Cause you're making me feel reckless,
And it's odd
How everyone loves me,
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE?
You hate me
I could tell by the way you talked to me,
So brutally,
Just because I had...
I don't have the guts to call out your name
And make a headline,
The one that everyone skips in the local daily
So I'm putting it here 'cause you can't yet just bury me.
Thinking about you makes me feel useless
Because I thought... I could OUTSHINE my old self
(For you)
But you make me feel like a fool!
On the way home
It took temperance to not let those tears out
I told myself "it's okay, IT'S ALRIGHT"

And streams of water were down my face
