my head hurts.
i try to write a paragraph or two
with words that make other people feel things
that make me feel things
but the words slip out of my grasp
and i'm too distracted by shiny likes and comments
to try any harder.
50 likes? can i get 60?
maybe if i tweak the caption a little
follow this person, follow that
but it doesn't change
how even writing a simple review
is so hard for my little brain
i can't put my feelings into words
i can't write metaphors and similes
about how this story makes me feel like i'm on a bicycle
and i'm cycling and cycling
but for some reason i can't get over the top of the hill
and when i do, i can't remember the journey there
i feel like writing this simple review
is equal to trying to make a pen sink in water.
even this poem that is not a poem
is all over the place.
tragic.
