A Poem by Erica Ross

Today..
I don't feel like dealing with anyone but myself. 
 
Today, I can barely deal with myself. 

People will look to you for happiness, but where art thou when it's time to reciprocate? Nowhere to be found, and I'm left as a happy mess.

I give my all just to see others smile, but maybe thoughtfulness isn't common sense, and maybe hoping for it is just a pointless risk. 

I've gone mute. 

Nothing but utters and mutters.  

Tears form in my eyes, and pour like rain into the gutters.

I know this feeling and after awhile it gets old. To the point I've lost friends and I'm cool with that. If you can't pick up the phone before i do every now and again then that tells me all i need to know. You'll be just fine.

Cheer up, Sunshine. The flowers need butterflies. I recently learned that butterflies taste with their feet... would be tough for me to walk around on my nose.
