Soggy-Hearted 9-20-21

When I was fifteen I had a soggy heart
“Paint what it feels like”
So I painted my heart, dripping in sorrow 
The cheap acrylic paint left their printer paper as soggy as the heart I had made
I’m twenty now, and the poeticism has vanished
I don’t feel melancholy 
I feel like sh*t
