I do not write poetry


This is number two

Only three more until I'm verified

What does that mean?

Can you verify that I am real?

Verify what I feel?

These words are in me

Part of some allele

Within me I can feel them

They writhe and scream for light

but I cannot give it to them

I am in high school and I am normal

i do not write poetry

I do not have mental issues

I am not out of the ordinary

If I were I would be odd

Like the looks I got in junior high

Like the single person that came to my birthday party

I do not write poetry

I am normal
