Another day another poem.
My words are beyond flat.
Paper thin.
Counterfeit copies of counterfeit copies

There is a pill for that.
If you call them by Monday the side effects come free of charge.

My hopes are tightly secured.
One drop turns months worth of acceptance into misery.

This is my life cycle,
fleas have more variance.
Why even bother stating my obvious.

I love these little shades of dark humour you work often work into your pieces. I smile and nod, despite the melancholy, which is all too real...

Deceptively poignant - the long lines force you to slow down and really savour each expression, drawing the reader in than releasing them bit by bit. Very therapeutic write. A poem a day may not keep the doctor away, but for me at least, it keeps me feeling grounded, and productive :)

:) Thank you for your kind words. I heart your stuff very muchly btw :D if I haven't said that before. Will we ever drag you into poetry class?

We'll see :) I don't get on discord that often, and am a little mic-shy, but it would definitely be good to hang out with everyone!

you can come and type :D until you feel safe :D

I love to read your poetry... There's always something interesting and thought-provoking for me here.

This is my life cycle,
fleas have more variance.

Love it!
