Home Alone

Nerd poetry

My parents leave for weekends away

I stay behind

With Netflix

I watch Dr. Who and Torchwood

Like a w***e on crack

I dance in the hula skirt

I bought at Spencer’s

When my parents are away

I let my inner freak out

I recite Harry Potter spells, dance the Carlton,

And play Yu Gi Oh online

I listen to Slim Thug’s Like a Boss

And to the soundtrack from Aladdin

For days at a time

I will build up my magic deck

And watch all three LOTR movies

With deleted scenes and special features

I dance to the Macarena

And eat mac and cheese

For breakfast

And ravioli from the can

For dinner

For hours I will decorate my room with bread and butter flies

Made of construction paper and wire hangers

One wall dedicated to all the

Coolest superheroes

Including the Incredible Hulk

I will read my manga while listening

To Avril Lavine just to be nostalgic

When people ask me complicated questions,

I answer 42.

And if my boyfriend were to come over

We would make sweet sweet…. POKEMON BATTLES!

With a deck that I have had since the third grade

And when Monday comes

I put away my decks, and skirts,

And dirty dishes

And wait in anticipation of the next

Epic weekend.

I liked it, it definitely made me smile. It seems like there's a lot of range to you as a person. The only thing missing I'd say is a deeper inner observation and self reflection, of course those external things reflect you but i like to hear something from inside as well.
