Do Not Read This Poem

By inexperienced

Because it will start with ‘I’
I don’t like the word ‘I’
Look,
I told you that
I would use it....

But since you’ve already started
I have something to tell you:

No more feelings inside me anymore
No good; nor bad
Should I be afraid?
Should I take precautions?
No more decisions to take
No more worries to wonder
Only this, that, these, those
Only have-tos of daily life
No more of me with you
No more of you with me
‘We’ is lost
We are lost.

I clicked on this one full of skepticism, but that was banished from the start. I am very impressed.

You certainly have an abundance of originality. I love it.

A former member wrote: This is so bittersweet. I remember in school our teachers said try to speak in sentences without using "I", bet you can't. Well they were right, thanks for reflecting that dear little message.
