In a world
Of broken relationships
And dating apps

I've honestly
Forgotten
What it means

To care about
Someone
Else

To make
A good
Impression

To take it
Slow
And wait

To wait
And see
What grows

I'm just
Too ready
To throw it away

Please stop
******* with
All my friends
Trying to be
Cool with me
I only
Hit you up
To *****
You over
Getting all offended
Trying to hangout
There's only
One thing left
When you
Burn all your bridges
Me and the bed

Running
Running from the truth
Im not really sure
What to do
These days
Told one thing
Then learn another
Tricked in the end
Without a mother
A father
A sister
And a brother
That I cannot
Fathom
The life of an immigrant

Its always revolutionary women

Organizing
Working
Leading
Taking charge

Denouncing
Ignorance

The depth of
The ocean
Or as shallow
As a kids pool
What are you
Looking for

A lack of sympathy
A lack of empathy
A lack of understanding
That is not difficult
To understand

The inability
To see anything
But yourself
Your own prejudice
Cripples you

The things
That people hate

Like myself
My personality
These days

What will we
End up doing

Im still
Waiting
To find out

The words she spoke
Were not kind

I said no
to writing a poem
so go away
