How to Get Over It
by Olivia Linnea Rogers
Like a bad stereotype of a teenage girl spitting it out like cinnamon
gum like urgh get over it
Like a dressage horse jumping a hurdle like
get over it
Like a bad response to a mental issue like have you tried just getting
over it?
Like a guilt trip
around the moon
like everyone else is over it
Why don’t you just
urgh like get over it
It’s really just time to get over it
Like an old trend I’m an old trend
Well I’m over it
I’m lingering
I’m old news I’m bad news
Like a trite husband who’s heard the same complaint one too many times
oh my god just get over it
Like in the mirror just get over just get over it just get over it
Like scaling a mountain Like an impossible
feat Like sixteen hundred hours in the work week
Some of us have better things to do and sit and linger so why don’t
you just get over it
Distract yourself there are other things to care about like just get
over it
Just get over it like it’s easy like I can remember to forget or try to
think of anything else like just get over it
Like in the mirror God I’m pathetic it’s been a year and I thought I was
over it
And will I ever be over it?
I’ve run the expiry date of being over it
I should be over it
I should have been over it
a long time ago and now I worry I’ve soured
and I’ll be one of those old people who never got over it
Got over the one thing The one thing that That one thing that I just can’t get over it
I worry I’m stuck I can’t get up the mountain It’s so nice down here by
the base It’s so nice and naeseous and they know me so well here
The Woman Who Just Can’t Get Over It
So I lied
I don’t know how to get over it
I’m over being over it
And I guess that makes me over it
So I just need to like get, like seek, like achieve, like buy, like procure, over it
They sell it at the corner shop
They sell it in jars next to the olives and cornichons
Like I’ve been desperatly needing to get over it but they’re completely sold out
I have an alert on for the online shop but it sells out in seconds
every time and I’m too busy not having over it to get over it
Everyone else is over you not being over it
Everyone is so over this poem Like we are so over it
We can crowdfund you some over it
We started a gofundme page so you can finally get over it
Are you over it? Did you ever get over it?
Does it taste delicious?
What does absense taste like?
It’s so much better when you’re just like over it
Well I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying to get over it
But if you were really trying to get over it surely you’d just like
be over it by now like
Where is it? Do I need a passport? Where is over it? Tell me and I’ll go get it
I’ll go get over it
I’ll go far away and get over it and I’ll never come back I’ll never go
back to not being over it
And so like I think it’s never over Because if it was over I could get
over it So it’s not over
Is it over? Is it over?
Can I beg for over it on the street? I might start begging to be over it
Oh god please let me get over it
I hope I get over it for Christmas
I hope I get over it
I’m so over not being over it
