This is a poem
That’s right
No lighthearted intro
This wasn’t even planned.
This month
I decided
I had to write a poem
And this poem
Is the type of poem
I’d write
On yellowed college ruled paper
From last year
This poem is me
Just feeling
Not happy?
And if this was really yellowed paper
This would be the type of paper I’d tear up
And pretend I never wrote.
I’m not a person who asks a lot of deep questions
The most important one I’ve asked was
Did we have homework for science?
No.
We didn’t.
But I am the type of person to question
I know a lot of things
Am a lot of things
I have
Six different personas
And I keep track of them all
School Persona One
Only a certain group of people know me like this
Maybe this is the persona that appears on the blog the most
I’m studious
Awkward
Maybe a bit outspoken
I pretend to try to be funny
And I criticize myself before anyone else can.
School Persona Two
I’m shy
Quiet
Kind of adorable?
And now resisting the urge to type a disclaimer like (lol nope)
And here, I get to be the one who complains about a ninety three
School Persona Three
Invisible
Home Persona
Either a great kid
Or a nightmare
Stranger Persona
Respectful
Sweet
Great grades
Golden child
Little Kid Persona
Self deprecating
In the most humorous way possible
I’m one of them
And then there are the quirks
I’m surprisingly a lot of things
I’m known for disliking exercise
I’m actually quite strong
I’m ridiculously awkward
But when it comes to it
I’m quite clever
If only someone listened
Which leads me to where I began
Do you want to care?
Or are you just going to like this without reading it?
Or maybe refrain from saying anything because, quite simply, you don’t know what to say?
Whatever you do,
It’s fine by me
That’s another thing I do
I endure.

thank you lots and lots. i don’t know why, but i wasn’t feeling very… happy(?) today, and i feel like this is the first poem like thing i’ve written that actually meant something to me. everything else is just a bunch of pretty words strung together? i don’t know… (and no, i don’t think i’m doing napowrimo this year… you can yell at me now…it’s just that it’s the poetry month, you know)

I don’t really know if what I want to say is the right thing to say, but I’m going to say it anyway? *raises hand in the air* I do want to care, Ivy. I know we don’t really know each other buuut, you’re my long lost soul twin? And even if you weren’t, I’d still care, because everybody deserves to be happy. Even on their not-happy days. So, Ivy, I care. And I’d like to help in anyway that I can. I think all of us have multiple personas, some more than others. It’s just a question of how well we integrate all of them into one personality, at the end of the day. May not be easy and some people may not ‘accept’ the real you, but I guarantee there will be people who will. They will like you for you. You don’t have stay bound in those expectations, you don’t have to endure them, love. Break free and live. Do things that make you happy, say things that make you happy. Don’t let other people stop you, if they are stopping you. Until then, all I can say is that this mood will pass and you’ll feel better soon. I hope you do! Take care, Ivy. 💕
