Caring

August 17, 2016 by Janielle Kastner in Bad Poetry

People like to tell you

"You shouldn't care what other people think about you."

And wait to make sure you understood them

Because it is important to those people

That you care what they think about you.

Emojis

July 11, 2016 by Janielle Kastner in Bad Poetry

I wish there was an emoji for froyo.
Or for your cold lips near my ear murmuring "You are my favorite."
Or for the feeling that this will last only until you find out how self-preservational I can be. 
Or for telling you I'm running late but wish I weren't.

Stoic Beauty

March 14, 2016 by Janielle Kastner in Bad Poetry

She was beautiful
But she was hollow.
It turns out
She wasn't actually stoic
She was just really empty. 
But that's okay
She was beautiful
So no one bothered to check.

Playlist Boys

March 14, 2016 by Janielle Kastner in Bad Poetry

When a boy asks you:

"What kind of music do you like?"

It is a test

And if he has to ask

You have already failed.

The Thing About Truth

January 19, 2016 by Janielle Kastner in Bad Poetry

The thing about truth
is that it doesn't much care who delivers it,
it just goes on being true.
