I have no idea how to read or write poetry, but here are my attempts (one's kind of serious and one's kind of not).
1.
I like my You better than yours
My You is sweet and best of all
Loves me
Your You is everything everyone thinks
About themselves
Really, you’re like everyone anywhere,
Just like me
But wouldn’t it be great if we were both
The person everyone wished we
Could be?
2.
Look me in the eye, motherfucker
Don’t give me the same goddamn look
People have given me since second grade.
I know you know the one.
The face looking up slightly, forty five degrees
Away from mine. The eyes toward the temples
The Brando brows
The lip sneered up, sensing something rancid.
Caught halfway between bemusement and disgust
Followed immediately with dismissal.
It was just a joke.
Fuck you.
