YOU HAVEN'T MET ME IN PERSON
My poems are pretty nice, I know
These premeditated thoughts I type up
To show you a sliver of me
But you haven't met me in person
On the other side of this poem
The other side of the screen
I'm just another high school student
Plodding along with the rest
I have a few people
(like, one or two)
Who I talk to occasionally
So I can call them friends
I have a loving family
There are seven of us in the house, though
So it's a bit crowded
And crowds stress me out
I'm a bit of an introvert
So even though I hate to be lonely
I don't really mind being alone
Prefer it, actually, most of the time
In person I'm small
And a bit quiet 'till you know me
Won't talk till you show interest
Then talk your ear off in excitement
I do tend to ramble
This shows in my poetry sometimes
Mostly because I don't have chance to practice
Normal conversing behavior
I talk too fast, and too much about myself
I'm a bit annoying, to be honest
And I'm pretty absent-minded
Forgetting to eat or go to bed on occasion
In person I'm sarcastic
A bit sassy too
But I'm always scared I'll hurt someone
And at the slightest confrontation I clam up
I favor silence, and solitude
As (unhealthy) coping mechanisms
Because I hate bothering people
And will withdraw if I think I'm being irritating
In person I'm shy and solitary
In person I'm too needy and excitable
In person I'm a bit naive and lonesome
In person I'd rather die than hurt anyone
So you know my poetryβ
A bit sad and fierce
With a few encouraging works thrown inβ
But you haven't met me in person
h.f.m.
