I don't

I don't

Open at your words

Your touch

I don't

Listen to

Anyone anymore.

I am completely in my head.

I know we don't have time for this mess.

I do it anyway.

I don't

Pay attention.

I can't.

Don't, I tell myself.

Don't be that 

Cold-shouldered                icy stare              lifeless            fake smile

Girl.

Could you instead be

Love            light          laughter          connection?

I could.

But

I don't.

    I am

    burning

    this is not unusual

    for me, the radiator

    but this isn't

    I'm freezing it's cold outside

    friends grab me for warmth because

    I'm a human sun

    sunny smiles 

    sunny skin

    Sectionals

    is the equivalent of a curse word.

    He warned us not to complain

    I did anyway.

    It's chaos

    no one listens

    nothing gets done

    unproductive

    I hate being useless.
