Whatever

Sometimes apathy seems the only armor
To protect myself
I spout out excuses, pleas, and “please”
And the one response that makes sense is
Whatever

So ambiguous
I wrap myself in it
And it’s all I want to tell the world
“LEAVE ME ALONE”
Doesn’t seem half as effective as
Whatever

“Wanna know the sad thing?”
I whisper to the darkness
“I won’t be alone!”
“I can’t!”
It hurts…but
Whatever

More words long to be written
To begin their journey
From my mind to yours.
So I could write more…

Whatever
