Texting

I text you again

I know it's pointless

My phone buzzes

I can hardly contain my joy

I slide my phone

Hit view

And start crying

The message is from ATT

Telling me that

 I still have unlimited texting

But haven't been using my plan

Ya I know

It buzzes again

I look down

I had hit the volume button

It buzzes a final time

I look down

It's from you

It says

No, that's not what I meant

I text back

Wat?

I had said hi

My phone buzzes again

O srry, that wasn't for you

So now I'm only good enough to text

By accident

Great

This is a great poem. It's so well written like all your other work. I like it a ton! ^.^ I think another reason why I like this poem so much is because I had this happen recently. (I had a full conversation with someone before he realized I wasn't the girl he wanted to talk to.) Just keep your head up and smile like there's no tomorrow. Happiness is the best revenge and the sweetest medicine. And whoever you wanted to text, well, they don't know what they are missing because without a doubt you are a smart and creative person.

he's an idiot, obviously.

Geoff, no offense but I hate nuns and monks... I think they're gullible dogs...

Anyway... I like the poem, it's rather humorous.

Well done, capturing the essence of feelings of abandonment. Ignore GeoffS. Writing about your own experiences is perfectly fine and doesn't deserve to be treated like nothing. You write better than some people twice your age, regardless of subject matter. This poem is simple and straightforward, easy to understand.

This ppoem is sad and its even more sad that its the story of my life... This is an excellent porm and I really like it... Keep up the Awsome work!

Well, unlike most of the people, that never occurs to me, I never text someone. However, I know how it'll feel, it drives people crazy, isn't it? Its an amazing poem, I don't agree with Geoffs, this is truly great, dont be discourage!

Grr... ! I have been in this predicament and it drives one insane to wait on a text that you feel will never show. It took me two months, but I stuck it out although I do admit going quite 'insane' during that time! But never did I get an 'accident' text from someone I was waiting so impatiently to hear from... what crap! Love hurts but accident texts hurt worse! You brought back some interesting memories for me... so I would have to say that I enjoyed your poem, indeed! :)

This has happened to me many a time, so I can relate to it. (My wireless plan does the same thing. So annoying.) It's nice to see people of my generation making literature about our experiences. My only comment is to put certain things in quotes and maybe edit out a few of the shorter lines, specifically 'ya, I know'

The best part of it is your use of the rule of three. Always remember, in writing, 3 is the magic number. 2 is too little, and 4 is too much. All in all, I give it a 80/100. You earned it, kid.

To Geoff,
I'm not saying I disagree with your beliefs, I just want to say that human nature is to care what other humans think of them. People are raised to be social creatures, it's practically instinct. Even the people that say they don't care what other people think truly care a lot.
Sometimes we (humans) care about someone that will never think twice about us. It's not something we can stop ourselves from doing. And It can hurt a lot when that person lets us know that they don't care. It's not relying on our peers to feel self-worth, it's being a mere human.

Lol. Sorry to laugh but you kids rely too much on the fickle opinion of your peers for your sense of worth. As a christian, I rely on only God's opinion of me for my self worth. God the Father thinks I am worth his son dieing for me to have a relationship with Himself. God, the Son, Jesus thought I was worth dieing for and God, the Holy Spirit wants to dwell with me. When you are secure in your self worth, the storms may come and the storms may go but nothing can destroy what is essentially you.
