I am not angry (From #TheQuietist)

Whenever I look at the past

And remember when you used to answer my calls

I always curse my geni for making my wish come to pass

Now

You’ve got power

You’ve got what you want

So I am undeserving of you

I might be a lone star in the sky

I might be the tragic boy in your photos

I might be the boy whose voice

Make rain fall on your skin

But trust me dear friend

This world is funny

You may think you’ve left me

At the bottom of the pyramid

I don’t doubt that

But remember that

When you fall

I will laugh

And before I push you farther

I will tell you

How your inactions

How your failure to answer my calls

Really made me feel

I swear

I’m not lonely

I’m not depressed

I only do what lonely people do

I only say a list of things depressed people say

I only rewrite this book every night

Just to make sure you end up

In all the dark places I am.
