Blurb
By Bree Leahy
My only friends are a notepad
And pen,
I am writing
And writing,
Desperate to construct a fantasy,
So different from this harsh reality.
All of the main characters left my story,
Eager to pursue their own paths of character development,
I am the spare piece,
The protagonist without a plot to protect,
The smudged ink across the page,
The result of a printing error.
I am the blurb,
Despite being short and snappy,
Everyone forgets to read me,
Everybody forgets that I exist,
Just examining the one-star reviews,
Before placing me back on the shelf.
Before placing me back on the shelf.
