This one is a slam poem and it's part of my final in my

poetry class. I can't believe it's almost over! But fear not, I

still plan to continue writing poems over the summer and

hope to take a poetry class next year as well.

This one is a slam poem.

Why can't I just tell you I like you

Why can't I stop wanting attention

But yet I hate the spotlight

Why am I so selfish

Why can't I

Just have a normal life

Why am I such a pessimist

Why can't I just tell you I like you

And get it over with

Why do I like you so much

Why can't I be blind

Why can't I be a robot

With no emotions

Why do I like you

Why can't I

Have some patience

Why am I so loud

Why did I ever meet you

Why am I so dramatic

Why do I need you

Why am I so stupid

Why do I want attention

To be heard

Why can't it all go away

Why can't I be somebody

I wish I knew how you feel about me
