P

By Sammy Ginsberg

feeling like a pancake
squashed
man i was mad today
and i kept thinking
after he saw that pad in my purse
he must have been thinking
that girl is on her period
but no
i wasn't
not yet.
just angry
just almost there
and the regulator of my words, decided to quit
and so a lot of
frustration poured out
and i was talking loud
but i feel people don't like it
i feel they prefer me quiet
and i know that i am supposed
to not care what they think
but its so hard
i mean, i have friends
so it should be fine
for me to be me
but gosh,
sometimes i even want to tell myself to
shut up
and i always regret it because i say too much
