Short Twisted Stories

Because I Can't

(Write a poem starting with, "I wanted you to know something about me")

I wanted you to know

Something about me

About how

I'm a walking irony

I hate making people sad

I hate making people upset

I don't like to see other's feel pain

I always know

How my actions affect others

Always aware

Of how others are feeling

But at the same time

I like seeing people upset

I like making people cry

I like hurting people because

It shows that I have power

I never know

What my actions are

I never know

How I myself is feeling

I love my body

I love the way I look

I don't care what the other's think

I've never seen

An unattractive person

Everyone is perfect

I wish I could change

Lots of things about me

Never looking the way I want

Why don't other's

Care what they think

Everyone could improve their look

Everything is flawed

Somehow

I can look at a person

And tell you exactly

Where the answers are

I can remember everything

What makes people sad?

I know

What makes them happy?

I know

What can you say

To make them leave you alone?

I know

I never know

What I'm reading on people

What's the answer?

I don't know

Look a little harder

I can never remember

Anything about people

Does this upset them?

Yes

Do you know why?

No

Will you ever ask to find out?

No

Are they being annoying or

Just looking for a friend?

I don't know

I love myself but

I think I'm the worst

I know I'm the worst

I love people but

They'd all be so much happier dead

That's why I ended them

Can you see now

How I make no sense and yet

I make all the sense in the world?

Because I can't
