This is a series I’m calling “Write the Damn Poem” where I finally write and publish poetry. This is an oldie, written back in 2016, but edited recently. This one is particularly interesting because I had a lot of emotion attached to this situation. Reading back, I feel extremely proud of my own growth and the distance I’ve been able to put between me now and me when I first started this piece.

This is a series I’m calling “Write the Damn Poem” where a take a list of prompts and make a poem. They’re all first drafts that maybe will turn into something more! We’ll see!
everyone is deserving
I fell in love and
became a better person–
after the heartbreak
So much love to give;
She did not love me back;
I repurposed it.
No longer careful,
I now love with all I have
and to all I meet
I Could Never Tell You What I Really Mean
i send you pointless texts because
whether or not u answer
it still means
that for a single second of your day
you were thinking of me
and
i don’t know when it happened that
that became enough but
that became enough
enough to absolute destroy me
