Do you really think
she Isn't worthy of
your attention?
10 word poem
  Apr 2015 Jasmine Roper
kas
It rained
on the day
I left a note
on your windshield.

The whistle has been blown

My blocks are set
I'm warm, ready,
But I'm nervous

On your mark

I'm set
I've prayed
Yet I'm nervous

Set

Only 3 seconds left

Bang

All fear Is gone
Based on start of track
I'm always nervous before my events

How
can this one meager drop of water
That slowly falls from my eye
down my cheek
onto the floor before me
have so much meaning

How can something so minuscule
Make all the difference In ones day

How can this miniature droplet of water upon my face
Signify all my sadness and yet consume all my joy

How can this single tear mean so much

I asked you where you received you Inspiration

I was confused on why I couldn't find mine

Little did I know,

That's what you were

You aren't here for me to love  

You aren't here to comfort me

You are here to open my eyes

I don't know when It happened but It did

"What?"

When Kindness became a publicized thing.

When a small act of graciousness had to be filmed and shared.

When a person helping another had to boasted about

Why can't we help each other without a reward

When did people become to selfish to the point where you only do things for others In order to gain or receive

I don't know when It happened but It did

You really don't think she's worthy of you?

Okay you get good grades
You've skipped a grade
You won the spelling bee

But are you smart?

Okay she carries a 2.4
She got held back
Okay she can't spell well

But Is she dumb?

You got Into a four year university
She's going to community college

You're now a lawyer
She's now an artist

You're rich and successful
She's rich and successful

You're getting a divorce
She's getting married

You lost your kids In court
She's carrying her second child

It's her 10th anniversary
It's your 10th DUI meeting

You're at your High school reunion
She notices you

You ask her If she's smart
She says no

She asks you If you're happy
do you know what you said...............
