“Favorite Mistake”


Distract me please

Please ring

I’m left alone all over again

Glance again

Maybe it’s silenced

Not another chance

Rejection never tasted so sweet

You’re my favorite mistake

Skinny jeans and

Harry Potter glasses

Am I just a different

Kind of rejection statement

Turn the volume up

Music I don’t really like

Scream a little louder

Still no call

You’re always going to be

My favorite

Mistake.



I just realized that it would be very easy to mistake this poem for something that was semi-autobiographical, but it isn't. I got the idea for this poem when I was people watching when class had let out early. This is purely something that I imagined that this person may be going through.
