friendship bracelets

   
The most devastating decisions are never big    
   
not responding to a text,    
not sending an email message,    
not calling back.    
   
Creates distance, while creating a comfort zone    
soon the freak in the plastic bubble,    
the one who stays in the four corners,    
then begins to frame the structure of excuses    
erecting brick walls, anchoring with thick cement lies    
   
Before you know it, confined.    
"HELP!" "CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?!"    
If only there was a window out which to see    
but wasn't interested in the world    
too afraid to look up    
because of tripping once on a sidewalk crack    
    
make friendship bracelets alone    
while watching other people speak poetry    
As if commonality can be discovered through distance
