Ale - Hello Poetry

I'm not a great writer,
not a deep thinker,
not even thought-provoking.
I'm just some kid,
some kid who's hurting.
My writing could never
meet your expectations.

Flaws

"You're ugly."
"And mean.
"You have acne."
"And bad grades."

I'm not your punching bag.
We all have flaws
and I've never bullied you for yours,
so won't you leave mine alone?

Ugly

"It's what's on the inside that matters!"
If that's the case,
you'd probably hate me much more
than you did for my looks.

Death

Death
is taking
a lifetime.

Reusable

Finding different emotions
to feel every day
is such a pain.
I'll just reuse the same
"happy face" as yesterday.

Trash

I'll throw it all away.
These useless emotions
and feelings.
I don't need anything
of authenticity.
This cheap plastic smile will do.

Funny

I'm glad my problems
are a joke to you.
But I'm not so lucky
to be able to laugh them off too.
