Sharing poetry be like
I can't write down my fantasy football team
Or perhaps I could
Somehow dividing my traits into useful players
My over confident exuberance - striker
Neurotic overthinker - goalie
Quick thinking analytic condemnor - attack/defence
Overcompensating fixer - whatever periphery players are
But poetry to the none interested is this
Having unsharable ideas that could be great, might be
But you have to find someone who cares
They not only have to like poetry but like you
So even if my best friend has an amazing fictional line up
With the best will in the world I have nothing to engage
But there is an audience, an enthused one
Same as someone apologetic talks in that football space, shares a great team - nothing, they've not sold it
I'm not selling it, I'm pulling punches, I'm not building any likeability
Just showing how my brain works
I can't take it on the road nor leave it here
But I can't keep it in
I've whipped up my team to get out on the field
They are created rather than fictional
Would I have a better team if some of them were switched out?
"Bring on fine and dandy, stay on the bench self loathing"
"Red card inner critic"
Am I better playing with less?
I definitely have tactics - confidence up front when on the field
Keep neurotic overthinker marked
I need a better manager, my coach isn't invested
I could definitely take home titles
If I straighten up my team, give them direction
But I get embroiled in the side squabbles
See how the poem is chaotic?
There's good stuff to say, but it's scattered
Plus too long winded for anyone to attempt
You'd have to like me to get this far
Or have skipped to the end, tell me the bit about skipping is good
I could rework this - it has good bones
But it needs to leave my possession
Without me saying a word
I don't want to risk being boring
Or maybe it's just another void to whisper into
