*small collection of 1-stanza poems*


-i-

Dude, you're too loud, stop.

God, you're so over the top.

And then

Hey, why don't you ever speak?

It's too much to be this meek


-ii-

My words fall on deaf ears

They're too busy in laughs and cheers

My absence goes entirely unnoticed

I'm a magnificent tree, but in a forest


-iii-

They all seem to want me, but at a distance

It feels like I'm a burden, a nuisance

I feel like a gateway to other people

And that hurts more than the sting of a needle


-iv-

All I can do is watch

Take small sips of my scotch

As he tactfully charms her

Now she dances in his arms


-v-

Watch them laughing

As they spell my death sentence

Watch them smiling

As they snatch my independence
