A FEW OF MY GLARING CHARACTER FLAWS LAID OUT IN THIRD PERSON JUST FOR KICKS
The poet is afraid to make any place feel too much like home because then she might have to stop running. The poet closes up in casual conversation because she can’t edit and redraft what comes out of her mouth. The poet writes almost exclusively about love even though she’s not sure it really exists. The poet emotionally tortures herself for art. The poet emotionally tortures other people for art. The poet is having some trouble making peace with privacy. The poet wrote a whole book about letting things go and still doesn’t know how to let a single thing go. The poet knows the exact taste of regret and never tries to wash it out of her mouth. The poet holds onto grudges until her fingers bleed. The poet is carrying too much around. The poet is stubborn, so stubborn, so fucking stubborn. The poet lusts after emotionally unavailable people because she doesn’t have to worry about commitment. The poet desperately wants commitment. The poet is desperate for acknowledgement and intimacy. The poet worries her flaws are mundane. The poet worries about the rent just like everyone else does, but she tries to make it poetic because she wants people to listen. The poet has no idea what she’ll do when people stop listening.
