Homogenous

i don’t know what it is that
i want to say
this block of emotions not
easily turned into words
or at least not words
that mean anything.
All that seems to make
it to the page unedited
quickly becomes self-censored
i mean, really, do you want
to know that i feel
broken inside? No.
Why would you care?
Even if you knew me
really knew me, why?
It’s always the same thing
because nothing really changes.
Those things that matter to me
that make me feel unique,
aren’t. Have you
ever loved someone
so much it felt like
you would die when
the fairy tale ending
didn’t happen?
me too.
Have your friends died?
mine too.
Have you ever been so
unsure of yourself, your
worth? me too.
i used to say that
non-conformists are a
dime a dozen until everyone
else was saying it too.
Life ain’t a boxa chocolates
it’s a McDonald’s
billions served
but always the same thing.
