Some Attempts (or, "I'm Insecure, So What?")
Haikus, Tankas, ???, and I just learned about the Senryu.
Hey, I tried. And just trying helps process stuff.
15
Convinced I'm unseen,
Keeps me from introducing
Myself to these crowds.
16
Bad habit
a stubbed toe;
Don't do that.
17
Be disappointed and rest.
It's working so far...
18
...But empty chat rooms
Hold only nostalgia
For bustling times.
19
why do you
let this introvert
carry
the
entire conversation
with my arms already tired
it's a good thing i am quick
to set things down
when they no longer serve me
be huffy,
it's true when
you believe
20
That was probably way too
Vulnerable but
Let's indulge in radical
ugly honesty
More often than we would like,
Once in awhile.
21
on repeat
to find the
app that works
22
i can't vogue
but at least,
can two-step
acknlowledge
silently
sep'rately
only for
awkwardness
days after
own up to
it, make it
better, so
there can be
a next time
with less regret
