When You Inquire Who This Poem Is About Poem by Ben Partenay

It's just a poem.
I get this out so that it stays that way
It's just a poem,
not my own thoughts
or soul bared violently for you
to read, it's just a poem.
Words and letters that mean (meant?)
something for brief moments when
they did my bidding.
It's just a poem, don't bother digging
deeper, trying to peel back layers
it's just a poem. I feel now as you
did at some point.
Life goes on,
and these words too
will pass and fade and
however very much
significance in a prick of a pin
or a lightning storm this
is just a poem about
a poem.
