This is what I usually call a running poem.  I’m sure it has a real name, but that’s what I call it.  Basically, it has a lot of rhyme, slant rhyme, alliteration, etc. but it doesn’t fit a particular meter.  Usually when I write these poems, they represent running thoughts and mental illness. 

This is a very simple AABB poem. I actually wrote it a few years ago, after my ex and I broke up. Every time I tried to start dating again, I felt guilty. So I wrote this to try to inspire me that my feelings for her don’t mean I can’t be happy with someone else.

I wrote this very simply because I find it hard to start writing. “ADHD” was a very close second for the title, but I generalized it a bit.

I decided to make a post for when I write new things to talk about the process of writing them. Specifically poems, but probably other stuff too. So here we go.
