Idiots

Why do stupid people
Feel the need
To share
Their misguided opinions
When absolutely no one
Asked for them

Draft

So many drafts
So much to write
And so very little
To say

Commitment

Today I saw something sad
A boy posted a “valentine wanted” ad
He said “valentine for a day
I’ll take you to dinner,
No commitment necessary”
That’s the problem
No commitment
We live in a society
Where we are more willing
To ink our bodies than to
Confess our love to
One another
The saying once went
“Be wary when a naked man
Offers you a shirt”
Now it should be
“Be wary when someone
With tattoos doesn’t
Want to stay.”

Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m not shaming those with tattoos, I’m simply making a point.

SHE

She's lonely, but she seems happy
She's tired, but she moves forward
She's down, but she doesn't drown
She's hopeless, but she's not careless

They say she's pretty,
but she feels ugly
They say she's smart,
but she feels dumb
They say she's talented,
but she feels incompetent
They say she's strong,
but she feels weak

She has no one, but she ain't gone
And that she,

**Is me.

Fantasy

I let my fantasy take hold
I left it in power for far too long
I convinced myself it was the truth
For me as much as you
I let myself believe
That everything done
Was done for two
I let myself ignore the truth
For the beauty of fantasy
Floating in ecstasy
Made up a hope in my mind

But as always
You were there
You looked me in the eye
Took my fantasy from my hands
And ripped it to shreds
I didn’t say a word, I knew
I knew this was coming
The things I once found sweet
Now seem ugly and in vain
As the you I made up in my mind
Faded into truth
