Irony: Self-Destruct
How to Watch Your Soul Die
Smiles fade and eyes gray
Food remains in the pantry
Homework goes undone
Skinny
Motivation capsizes and presents itself with diligence
Only when the cleats are laced
Or the screen illuminated
Stupid
Tears and ink flow simultaneously
Respective ducts refuse to endure inactivity
When the blue cap commands attention
Ridiculous
Sadness turns to anger which boils
Until it becomes cantankerous and controlling
The lights remain off, the doors remain shut, and the blinds remain closed
A Disappointment
A notebook of emotion
What happens when the last page has been turn to…
And scribbled over?
