Write a poem
If you know 'em
Then fix a rhyme
Don't spend a dime

I'm not cut out for this rhyming ****.
Not at 3 AM.

Sorry for that last one.
Harsh.
I don't know who I am anymore.

You told me
"Don't be sad. I'm okay now."
I've been sad for almost 5 months...
I'm not okay...but
Happy Birthday.

I
am
sensitive.

I
am
breakable.

I
am a lousy excuse for
"a man".

I
am a
loser.

I
am someone
misplaced.

...I was selfish.
I I I I I. Me me me me.

I
am not deserving of
you.

Well,
I can't breathe anyway.
Might as well count to 10 again.
It's not working.

I just told a friend:
"I feel awful. She made me so happy."

My friend asked:
"Why is that bad? She made you happy and you made her happy too."

I replied:
"I wish she'd come back."
"That's why."
"And she's in a relationship with her."
"While simultaneously claiming she's lesbian."
"And that's not good for my self esteem."

My friend replied:
"That isn't good."

The only thing
I want to remember
About math class
Is the way
Your fingers...
How they traced patterns
Up and down
The square of my back
Between 1:25 and 2:15
5 days a week
And all of the security you gave me
When I would turn around
To see your gorgeous smile
And hold your precious hand

Each breath I take is just a little bit harder...
My throat is closing up...
I'm gasping...
Sinking...
Sinking...
The sinking feeling is drowning me...
Help, I scream, help!
Sinking...to the bottom...
Drowning
Dead
