Of Course

Of course he'll only say a few words to me.
Of course he won't be in the mood to chat.
Of course he's busy.
Of course he doesn't want to talk about it.
Of course, it's what I expect.

Maybe I'm just too sensitive.
Maybe It's Maybelline.
Maybe I'm just grabbing at air.
Maybe I should snap out of it.
Maybe isn't good enough.

I don't know what else to say.

Author notes

Trying to figure out someone's motives sucks.

    This is an incredibly powerful statement of the inside workings of many peoples' brains. I love the use of repetition to reinforce meaning and how the two stanzas are separate instead of being smooshed together. I especially enjoy the break of repetition in the final line, giving emphasis to the rest of the poem.
