Analysis of The last poem
This is the last poem for you
I’m done with pouring my feelings out
just to absorb them again
Like a sponge submerged
in a fish bowl
I’m done with being afraid
of standing up
of speaking out
just because you’ll snigger
I’m done with hoping against hope,
yearning for a light.
Better to embrace darkness
than perish trying to get an unlit candle.
I’m done with trying to impress you from a distance
Its pointless to 'shoot my shot'
and hope for a bull's eye
when the target is continents away.
No more letters,
or glances from me.
You won’t even notice it.
Which is great,
because this is the last poem for you.
