The poem was simple and something people would quickly glance at before turning away, but for some reason, it drew Evan in. He read it once. Then twice.
Unlike the limericks and cleverly-rhymed stanzas he'd read in English, this poem was different. It felt different. It hit home. Evan felt a strange, certain sadness for the stranger behind the poem. The hurt and frustration of never being truly seen by the world yet not being able to properly see himself had caged him for an entirety of seventeen years. The poet had seemed to be able to capture this emotion in six short lines.
Evan liked the post, a red heart popping up on the screen before fading out. He tapped onto the profile, finding a consistent theme of poems with interchanging black and white backgrounds. Evan's finger automatically tapped on the black poem before the most recent post.
