POEM-SOMEONE I COULD HAVE BEEN

 POEM-SOMEONE I COULD HAVE BEEN

gather gather in this petty party

everyone thinks they are victim

of some deep tragedy 

some might be true

many will be made up

some say for attention

i would name it praise validation 

faker the intentions

more is its value

silence in this call

will always give the answer

judges will rise, glasses will break

intentions will be revealed 

at your most vulnerable stage

be your first follower

be your first fan

be someone you should have been 

cause this world will never have you back.
