Brilliant
Minimum wordcount,
gotta fill in the blanks.
At least 10 lines,
messed it up to fill the requirement.
‘Being out of your comfort zone’s good’
why don’t you try it over and over again?
Don’t feel like blending in,
don’t know how to get angry or to stand out.
Search for a song, something to blast.
can’t remember the name or the lyrics.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Pushed to talk, what do you want me to say?
I talk more than I did in the childhood I remember.
What does it take to satisfy people who talk all day?
Asking opinions but doing nothing about them, not even caring,
are you surprised when I don’t like expressing myself?
Maybe I am cynical for my age, got a problem with it?
I can’t even write a fricking poem.
Brilliant.
Can’t remember what my last one was before I messed it up to fill the requirement.
Just go ahead and give me an F, alright?
I hate double-checking.
Writing on the fly gets it out easier, even if it is worthless.
Brilliant.
I can’t write to save my life.
