Playing the guitar makes you look appealing.
Playing football makes you look tough.
Playing the piano makes you look talented.
I wish someone would have warned me that writing poetry
makes you look depressed.

You say she is your best friend...
Is that why she forgot you?

why does everyone want life to be simple?
have they ever actually lived?
life will always be complicated. no matter how hard you try
people will think their day was
long,
tiring,
busy,
and we need those days
because without them,
the joyful ones aren't as filled with joy
and the happy ones seem to have more tears.

I am the unnoticed.
I am the clover growing under a rose bush.
The soft wisps of cloud above the tornado.
I am the rough draft, a light pencil sketch of the final picture that is on the next page.
I am the unnoticed.
Never belting the solo.
Always the shortest standing in the back of the soli.
Never achieving the dream of getting the lead.
Always blending into the background.
Only, when will this play end?
