Twinkling Duck

a star in the distance

I twinkle and shine

not the brightest one

I don't want to be 

as bright as the sun

So on the internet I put things that are me

but still, there's stuff you don't even see

Sometimes I like to go away

not think

not talk

not sleep

I put toothpaste on my pimples

and I smile in the mirror to try and find some dimples

I'm always tired

I stay up so late

I like being the only one awake

my own world at my feet

Late at night, I eat lunch meat

I value beauty and intellegence more than I should

I wish that I didn't have to try at either

I wish my life was easier

I wish I had more money

No crap,

I want to be able to pull my college tution out of my pocket

Do expensive things on the weekends

But that's not real

so here I am, 

writing poetry that no one will understand

I thought about spicing it up

But the real me would just leave it up to luck

so this is me

not giving a duck

I don't curse and I wouldn't give you my duck
