I Only Know How to Write Poems That Are About My Life Problems

November 23 - 30, 2023

Why do I care about

people caring about me

Because there's no one

who truly cares about

my personal life problems

And I feel like a tool

to everyone I vent to

Everything I say

is a wretched poem

Oozing with frustration

and it's getting nowhere

Not even trying

to come fully clean

with my real problems

All that I have kept

in silence for so long

for years at a time

Maybe if I shout

at the inevitable void

then perhaps

I could feel a little better

But now I feel like

I screwed it all up

by having my words

be spat into poetry

And now everything

that I have ever said

is complete nonsense

that no one cares

to read or understand
