so i wrote something during quarantine and i first thought it was a song but i now feel like its a poem. could be both :) anyways i'm sure i'm not the only one who feels this way so i thought i should share it. i wrote it in july 2020. the "song version" is longer and doesn't rhyme as much and also talks about a boy rejecting me, so fun. yeah, these are my personal thoughts when things were difficult, so please be respectful and don't be afraid to share your experience. this is the first poem/song i've finished writing because everything just flowed, of course, it wasn't easy but i am proud of it. any questions and comments would be appreciated. its obviously not the best thing out there but i hope you enjoy it <3
just me
- vené venter
i've been keeping myself busy
hoping someone would miss me
it's been more than three months now
and i haven't left the house, wow
just me and a blank screen
and i got no routine
staying up all night
i wonder if i'm alright
online classes made me quiet
i've been keeping really private
haven't posted in a year
it's like i just disappeared
crying myself to sleep
knowing i'm no ones to keep
i've never felt so alone
'cause it's just me and my phone
zoom calls give me anxiety
i don't fit in with society
and i've watched every show
just thought you, you should know
i don't feel passionate about anything
but then again, i cry about everything
i think it's just quarantine
can't believe i'm almost nineteen
i'm biting the inside of my cheek
oh, how i feel so weak
can't even keep track of days
but i have to write essays
tried texting my friends
but their response depends
i've never felt so alone
'cause it's just me on my own
