The Unfortunate Poker Face Poem by Pranesh Varan

I’ve never been
the most wonderful person
or neither do I possess any talent
I was never the most sought after by anyone
Or neither was I interesting in anyway
I was a poker face to you
And will always remain so.

All I’ve ever wanted was a friend
But instead I’ve only been shoved with revulsion
Is that too much to ask for?
I don’t know. Maybe it is!

Sometimes I feel that god
Created me just to have a gag
My life’s just a cruel joke to him.
He led me to all the wrong directions
Just to see how badly I hurt myself.
I don’t know what more there is to come
But all I’m waiting for
is my eternal punch line..!
