Hypocrite

Matt Stessman 1994 (Iowa)

Blank verse
I’m going sober. No booze. No nic.
Gets drunk and smokes.
Hypocrite.
I’m working on myself and don’t need a partner.
Gets a partner.
Hypocrite.
Here’s my ring size and favorite settings.
Dumped to the curb.
Hypocrite.
Want to have a baby?
Gives up.
Hypocrite.
We should buy a house!
Moves out.
Hypocrite.
I still want you in my life.
Isn’t.
Hypocrite.
I’m fine.
I’m not.
Hypocrite.
