Unwanted
a Poem by Raquel Swann
When I reach for you
You repel
When I smile at you
You frown
When I try to talk to you
You become deaf
When I tell you who I am
You cringe
I’ve become an inconvenience
For your convenience
I am the problem
To your solution
I am the puddle
Caught in the burning sun
Evaporating into myself
Until I no longer exist.
