the time will come
(view the booklet/zine I made for this poem)
my mom says my friends will
some day be angry at me
for now, I watch their
anger from the sidelines
but that will change,
she tells me
I want to be happy.
I want everyone to be happy.
anger is sad;
I live in avoidance (of it)
it’s nobody’s fault,
but I dread the day
we are truly angry
at each other.

author’s note:
this is partially inspired by one of bella lee’s projects ( https://lexpomo.com/poet/2023/arabella-lee-lexpomo-2023/ )! I had fun writing this. go make stuff. it’s cathartic.
The zine is like the coolest thing I have ever seen. I love your little illustrations and how the cat faces change with each line
