I Understand How Batteries Feel

Anissa Bredemeyer

 

I understand how batteries feel

Because I’m rarely included

In anything.

 

I understand how batteries feel

Because I’m constantly drained

Due to your childish games.

 

I understand how batteries feel

Because I seem to be

So disposable to you.

 

I understand how batteries feel

Because I get used

And then thrown away,

No second chance

To recharge

And become lively again.

 

I understand how batteries feel

Because I explode once in a while

And spew my mordant acid

And become a huge mess.

 

I understand how batteries feel

Because I can only light up someone’s life for a while

And then I’m trash.

The author's comments:

When I was writing this, I felt very lonely and out of place. I didn't know where I fit in and I felt left out of a lot of activities with my friends. This is a poem that I'm sure most people can relate to at one point or another.
