Glass Half Full
Poems About Glasses Being Half Empty
every moment that i think about it
is like another moment spent on a cliff
jump you say jump
but my body can't seem to do it
i handed you a tall glass of me
here
try this
and i was thrown to the ground
shattered
like poison had touched your lips
you swirled it around
played for a bit
decided you were just
too good for this
shit
why had I chosen
you
over me
wheniknewallalongitwasstupidiwasstupidwhywasidoingthistomyself
i couldn't get rid of the
SkaTterD
thoughts
why did i choose
to give you a tall glass of me
just to know i would receive
a glass half empty
Blue and Purple
i can take a beating
i can take a fist
But I can't take the words
That come along with it
i can have blue and purple
baby
make me your canvas
mark my fair skin
i can have a road map made of
scratches and swells
But I can't take the words
that come along
with
it
Clarity
there was an unrealistic expectation i had created from you
i asked for this
i asked for that
it was never enough
how many times do i have to tell you
I am sorry for that.
But can we take a moment,
a second, really
to see what you had done
to me
i am short
i am fat
yes i know
you made it clear
thank you for that
i know I am not the girl on your magazine
hidden under your bed
i get it
i do
you can do better
you made that clear too
look
before you yell at me
again
i am truly
sorry
for
that.
