watch

I want to say
you’re not worth it anymore
but my mouth won’t open
and my tongue won’t move.

I want to yell and scream and dance
young and sweet, only seventeen
but the mirror is watching
and my feet won’t cooperate.

I watch you
not watching me.
Watch you
watching him
watching her
watching them.
Watching everybody else
and for once

I want to laugh, flirt, be the centre of attention,
and then you will watch
but you are not watching

and my feet will not move.

    any of those ways, it's good
