(no subject)
like the 5th poem in 2 weeks im a loser :/ and this one is probably the worst
Follow the instructions
And cut on the dotted lines
Make sure the edges are neat
This is your life
Remember: No one will look at you if your scissors slip
And poke holes for where your eyes should be
So you know we can see right through you
I wish my life looked like a negative
so blurry you can’t see the imperfections
Unless you hold it up to the light
Please don’t expose me
Turn the light off
Nobody needs to know…
I’m not getting this whole teenage thing
I never cared about what I wore
I was happy in anything
Let’s start a new trend
Striped Shirts
Polka Dot Skirts
And we’ll call it
Homage to being five years old
And boyfriends, what are they?
Try explaining that to a five year old
Let’s go back to the time of cooties
Circle, Circle, Dot, Dot
Darling, it’s alright I got my cooties shot
But now I’m a photo in a dark room
still developing
Please keep the door shut
If the light hits me
I’m ruined
And when I’m ready
Hang me up to dry
Suspended for everyone to view
Look at my face
Is this the face of a girl who has it all?
I’m not exactly radiating confidence
When I cover my face
To shield myself from the world
But if they can’t see me
They can’t judge me
But something is missing from this photograph…
Someone cut it in half
And I think that someone was me
I had to cut along the dotted lines
But now I think that was mistake
Because I slipped
And now I’m ruined
