and with your introduction
so begins my inability
to make to do lists
because all i want to do
my dear
is you.

my poems are just
well written reminders
of all the things
you've thought of
but forgot to write down.

there is a little clause within
their contract,
a small fee
some people don't see.
and that is
with every minute spent
on this device
we will take five minutes
of your creativity,
of your ability to self love
of your ability to tap into nature
of your once keen sense of awareness to your surroundings
of your eyesight
please sign here.

i have failed over
and over
and over
and over again
looking to others
to understand the
strength and power
of my critical thinking.

they try
to **** you dry
every last drop
of hope and kindness
they want to see just how
dry they can squeeze you.

a little game you see,
one thats not to understand
the sweetness of the juice,
but one to watch you see
as they flex their
skill of the purposeful spill.
