9:00 p.m. walk into the kitchen open freezer door no dinner tonight what a shame open door sit down on doorstep cautious of the fire escape feel the chilled rain fold arms over knees reply to text message watch neighbors take a smoke look at the open door lights flicker in the alley I'm in cars driving by wipe the rain off of arms watch tv through neighbor's window hope he doesn't let out his dog think of climbing out on roof but there are puddles everywhere tears stay separate from the rain think about my failures remember mother walking off screaming paraphrasing her words only to mean it's my fault but it is feel so pathetic stomach unhappy not to be fed compose poem in my head see shadow in the doorway watch the people walk beneath me stand up shivering from the wetness open the door take a deep breath wipe away the tears walk back into the kitchen grab a bagel make some cereal dwell on today eat the food bite by bite step by step

Yeah, this is literally the poem I created in my head when sitting out on the fire escape.
