sometimes i like to pretend that someone reads these.
that i'm not screaming endlessly into a void which doesn't hear
or respond
or care.
i like to pretend that someone looks at these
that i'm not as alone as i think i am
or believe i am
or know i am.
but in the end
i understand the truth.
nobody does.
it's not like i should even call this poetry anymore.
i've only written haikus
and talked about my feelings.
i don't blame anyone for not wanting to read my work.
