Over-Complicated

Loved Second

Being second choice
Is almost as bad
As not being
Chosen
At
all.

It's ok.

The sun beams dry up my teary face,
I'm worn out trying to seem ok.

and It's ok,
that I'm not ok.

Isn’t it odd?

All these poets
Putting out
Pieces of their minds
Or rather, their hearts
Pieces broken off of the whole
Out for others to see
And enjoy
Makes me think,
Even though many of us will
Think of ourselves as introverted,
We’re all just
Wearing our hearts
On our sleeves
On Hello Poetry
Odd, isn’t it?

Just a thought.

Hey Violet

Hey Violet,
You’re so beautiful
Do you think that you could
Splatter some of that beauty
Onto a page
And share it with the rest of us?

Violet is just a name I really like. But also, all of us poets are beautiful, putting our beauty on the internet for others to enjoy.

Something I Learned

I asked her,
“What issues do you have? I bet they aren’t as bad as mine”
And I was in shock
As she told me that her parents had been Fighting
They didn’t even talk
For two days
She always seemed so sweet and innocent
Like she had the
Perfect Life
But the lesson I learned
Was that
Everyone had their own struggles
You just have to get to know them enough
To know them

I feel kind of bad that I overestimated how easy her life is. Sorry RJ! (She won’t read this but just wanted to say it).
