POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
The new You market
Just for a second
Try to be someone else
Feel what that person feels
You know you can’t carry on
Not like this
You just can’t continue to be who you are
You’re being judged and observed
You’re being tested and absorbed
They’re already trying to change you
You lost track of time
So wake up before it’s too late
Change yourself
Don’t let them do it for you
How much was it?
Doesn’t matter
It was worth it
You could have done it yourself
You spended money on something you should have done
Now they...

Sleeping therapy session
You want to know why I don’t sleep?
Well that’s easy
I’m afraid of what tomorrow is going to be like
So I try to avoid it
Why are you so frightened?
Maybe, because it’s a new day
But with my routine
It’ll just be the same anyways
Wouldn’t you like to wake up?
No, I’d rather wait for the sun
It’s a feeling of control over my time
It’ extremely necessary for me
But aren’t you exhausted?
I get tired from time to time
But I think it’s worth it
In some twisted way
So you want control?
I can’t control others...
