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?
