Vexatious
You are so vexatious
Because you steal all of my friends
All of my thunder

You play the innocent girl
But you make these subtle
But extremely snide remarks

You play modest
But you succeed in almost everything
And when you’re just a little bit off
You whine and whine

And I’m just here
With my low accomplishments
Thinking, if you think how you’re doing is bad
Then what about me

Annoying
I find you very annoying
Because you are so much better than me
In every single way

You are a better singer
You’re smarter
You’re more athletic
You’re happier
You’re prettier
You have more friends
More guys like you
And you always steal my attention

Which by the way
I almost never get
Even on my birthday
You somehow find a way to outshine me

So yes you annoy me
Because you’re a better me
Better than I’ll ever be

Pour the abstract water
Into a sculptured mold
Freeze it so it stays there
In a timeless hold
I can make you shiver
Down to the bone
You can’t break my heart
Cause it’s stone cold
But if you want the art
Get rid of my statue
You’d have to thaw my heart
Just don’t burn it too

You mean a lot to me
So please do not leave
You are the apple of my eye
And all fruits would rot if you die

You may be running out of breath
But that shouldn’t lead to your death
You might be dripping tears from your eyes
But that doesn’t mean it’s time for goodbye

If you feel empty I’ll fill you with love
So you won’t float away to the above
I’ll wrap you in a big warm hug
To keep you from this grave you dug

So if you ever feel alone
Just look back on this poem
If you ever feel suicidal please talk to someone. A friend, parent, counselor, trusted adult, sibling, lover, child, anyone. You could even text me. Even though I don’t know you, I still don’t want you to die. Because everyone matters in my life.

I’m holding on
That is why
I’m such a fool
It hurts me
Which is why
I’m letting go

Now read it from the bottom up
This was my first reverse poem and it’s not that good but I tried very hard. Hope you liked it!

Seven reasons why I don’t  love you
Seven reasons why our love is true
Together it’s fourteen reasons I’m a fool

She’s gone
I know it hurts
But things
Could be much worse

I know you miss her
I understand your pain
But you’ll miss other things
If you don’t stand again

She’s in the back of your mind
But she’s  still there
You must throw her away
And show you don’t care

If you’re always stuck on memories
You’ll start to run out
Cause you can’t make new ones
If she’s still around
