I am not really a writer.
And not really a poet.
I just string pretty words together
And make countless unfinished worlds.
I create characters in fanfictions
To escape this reality.
And tell myself one day I’ll make it
With all my words and rhymes.
But days like these I grow tired.
Can’t stand the rejection
And notion that it’s nothing special.
Just words thrown up on the page
A scramble of thoughts
Strung together
To be artsy and edge.
Scream of my difference.
But I can’t even finish a short story.
Nor a ground breaking novel.
And all my poems…..
are just hopeless love letters to myself
