2 Poems by Ellie Cameron

I wish I was a bigger person

I wish I was a bigger person;
that I could see your happiness 
and revel in it, but I’m just 
a little too small for that,
a little too flawed for that, 
a little too hopelessly enthralled for that—
you deserve to be happy, 
but every time you bring him up 
I can’t help but wish I was a bigger person.

Tanaga on anger and hate

Burning like a wildfire,
uncontrolled, growing dire,
the flames climb ever higher;
hate fuels the blazing pyre.
