#overshare
When I get close to people,
I tend to overshare.
especially when I spot a shared interest.
You’re into cheesy memes?
I’ll flood your inbox with my favorites
You like scary things?
Even if I’m not always into them
I’ll find the ones I do like
thinking you’ll appreciate them too
But lately,
I’ve started to think...
maybe people don’t like this.
Because over time
they start to drift away.
It stings to be labeled a copycat
When all I've ever wanted is friendship
People close to me that I can be open with.
Maybe I'm meant to float alone
Like a golden jelly,
I should make my own pattern.

I’m selfish, I know
I’m stubborn, which, may be worse
I overshare… just not enough
I tend to ignore the facts that may be relevant
I’m amusing, yet I can make you sad
You’ll always want to know more,
you’ll never can
Poetry writes itself, doesn’t it?
Now I’m here, stuck,
with the image you want for me
no makeup will cover the fact that
I am still sad about it
No poem will soothe me enough
To ever forget about it
