i talk in verse
and get looks of disdain
rolling eyeballs the norm
shaking of the head
why can't she just talk normal
on everyone's tongue
eyes filled with confusement
so i shake my own head
and walk away
looking to the empty page
of a, as of yet, unwritten poem
and there the verses flow
to be embraced
by the creative
to be appreciated
by people
like me.

sometimes i just can't help speaking like i'm reading from a book of poetry
