Presenting the latest poem from VALIDATION, life is lyrical irony:
–Read EYESORE now, at Anvi’s Thoughts Caught–
i say, “i know you,”
you say, “who are you?”
feeling you through the broken pieces,
you never called me on the weekends,
hurts when i’m with or without you,
swallowing the pills with a shot of truth,
pulling me down, down,
falling back to the crowd,
even he catches my eye,
and i mutter a hurried ‘bye,’
no one would get this,
except for you, of course… the only person i’ve ever missed,
self-diagnosed depression,
failing to read the warning expressions,
red flags, neon signs,
written in ink, invitations declined.
you stare imploringly at me
and i get the hint a minute too late,
now i’m standing here foolishly
and i leave; you’re already planning my movie date,
and i don’t know what to say ANYMORE,
i don’t look forward to yet another day of being an EYESORE.
i get in your way,
hold my breath when you say,
“could you help me, you know, that project that’s due in May?”
i deflate, desperate to leave, i say, “maybe another day.”
