PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

All of my life there has been a deformity

Never to be able to do something- anything

Without others watching me

It scared me to know that they realized it

I hid myself from the world

Not wanting to experience it

I tried to go to college but that didn’t work either

It just made me sick

So instead I walked in the parks and went to the zoo

I felt peace and comfort when I’m alone

Just me myself and I

Thinking about my high school crush

He was nice and popular

He called me “Blue Roses”

I think it fits me because I’m awkward like “Blue Roses”

Well I can see him again

We have so much in common

I can’t remember the last time I had a conversation with someone

To think about it I haven’t because I’ve been so shy

We kissed and I felt comfort

Something that I’ve only felt around my glass menagerie

But now not only is it the glass but him to

Before the lovely evening ended

He told me that he was with someone else

Feeling horrible inside that I opened up to him

I wanted to be sad and upset all at once

I let this deformity take over me

How could I let this take over my life?

I could have had the guy I liked

If only I would of tried

Only if I would of tried

But now it’s too late

And I’m back alone

With a mother who wants me to marry

And a brother who wants to leave forever

I don’t mind anymore

I’ll just stay here 

With my glass menagerie
