I put my emotions on a screen for no one to read

Place it forward for the whole world

When I can't even tell it to myself

Seeking some form of comfort I'll never get

Making me feel worse than I did before

It causes me to question the meaning of these poems

Attention?

To convince myself?

But then I know people enjoy this

Fine, I will tell myself

Because it's here for them to enjoy

It's poetry, not therapy

But to me poetry is my therapy

If I can't talk to someone than maybe online profiles

Because screens are secure

Oh wait,

They don't want to speak to me either
