Useless: An Introduction
Sierra Cook Nov 2011
I don't believe we've met.
I'm Useless.
Yup.
That's what everyone else says, right?
I'm only just another argumentative fellowlady
I'm just a little loud,
just a little extreme,
but only just a little.
I'm okay with that. It's only a name,
only a game, a face,
only a phrase
"You're only a phase."

I don't really know how I write or how I am
or who I am.
I guess that's for you to decide
or figure out
or whatever you people do these days.
Frankly, I can't figure you people these days.
Why do you think I try so hard?
Do I act this way because I want to?
No.
I do it for you.

So yeah. I'm Useless.
Useless at sports,
Useless at popularity,
the only use that I have may be is
not being normal.
Because normal's boring.
And I'm not Boring.
Boring is what the rest of you are.
And I'm not Boring.
I'm Useless.
And at least I'm okay with that.
Hello. First poem on here. Thought I'd just freeverse it or not. I usually do freeverses and I hope it brings you joy in dissecting it. Then again, maybe you don't want to.
