Another of my Poetry Club poems:
I never tell the truth
and I care too much what people think
writing makes me sick
and reading is only a chore
I don’t believe in love
or that forever can exist
that you only live once
and life is just a bore
I don’t wish to be happy
and I never think I can succeed
but if you believe any of this poem
a mental readjustment is what you need
(The prompt for this poem was to write a poem about yourself in which nothing is true)
