Texts turn to poems

In my creative writing class, we were asked to write a text message poem. In today's day, it is more than likely that we send hundreds of texts almost daily. Little do we know that often times those short little messages can hold a lot of meaning, and actually be their own little poems. As I was scrolling through the texts I had sent in just the past few hours, I found this message and decided to type and print it. I didn't even realize the meaning this text held when I tapped "send" on my Iphone. It just happened. Here's what I came up with:

Words

Words have a little meaning when they're a little too late.

That simple little phrase holds so much meaning that I really had no idea of. If you know me, you know I am a HUGE fan of Taylor Swift. I think she's a genius when it comes to writing music and I think she makes you feel a connection with every single one of her songs. I listen to her so much, I have practically adopted her lyrics into some of my vocabulary. In her song "Sad, Beautiful, Tragic" she says something very similar to this text I had sent. One of the comments that my classmate made is that this reminded her of that song. That's when it clicked in my brain that I hadn't come up with it all on my own. 

I think everyone can relate to this sentence. It's a small truth, yet it holds so much meaning. When someone has hurt you and they wait too long to make it up to you with words, it's almost like what they say goes through one ear and out the other. It doesn't matter anymore because you're so over it. You're so over that person.
