The Weak Man Disease
What does going through a breakup
and being cheated on
and being betrayed feel like?
It feels like I have to wake up every
morning with a smile on my face and
not say anything in fear that I’ll be viewed
as that crazy ex.
It feels like I have to suck up all of the
built up tears every time I see his
lying ass face so I can look like I
just don’t give a damn.
It feels like a scream inside you that
just won’t come out and grows into this
cancerous lump that you can’t get rid of inside
of your throat.
But he says that I should just move on.
But he says that he’s sorry.
“We should be friends.”
So he can lie to me without a title
and disrespect me without a title
and go for the girl he always wanted anyways
but hid in fear that I would speak up
like any strong woman would.
Like any weak man would do.

Hello, I am a filmmaker. I am working on an animation for a class at the University of Utah. I was wondering if you would be interested on writting some poetry for my project.
I love what you wrote, "It feels like a scream inside you that just won’t come out and grows into this cancerous lump that you can’t get rid of inside of your throat." Please message me if you are interested and I can give you more details about the project. I am willing to pay you for your time and talent.
Thank you!
