does not seem legit
how many sorrys you have
Disingenuous
you throw up sorrys
like confetti. Please stop ‘cause
- comes down like glitter
thrown out to placate
your sorrys are throwaways
a placate party
Confetti it up!
your sorrys are meaningless.
Glitter everywhere.
Places it shouldn't be
only function? Distraction
pretty as it is
Please. I beg of you
keep your thank yous and sorrys
can’t clean up the mess
Leave the empty thank yous
Hyperbole pleasantries
And just do better.

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.

This was so powerful! Empty words don't mean anything. Loved this so much!
