Looking around the
Giant room full of people
Not a friend in sight
I have a class with not a single person I'm friends with. It feels hellish. I write this during class.
It feels great to be unique
It feels beautiful to be special
But being one of a kind
Is so lonely

Can there please be at least one other person in this universe
That's like me?
Can we be two of a kind together?
Just one...
Please

I've had enough of this
I just need ONE other person
I hate this compliment
I said
I have to hibernate
Before I shed this skin of mine
And she said
I know
It’s your greatest strength
And that made all the difference
We dine on tears again this evening,
Sipping vessels that shan't run dry.
The banquet halls tonight are heaving,
Guests dreaming of clearer skies.
I am not a poet
Just trapped in love
Maybe this trap
made me one
I don't know

I never asked to
write these lines,
But you
You made me

So read them
Find yourself
between the verses
And become
my poet now
