Instagram level shit. Just put it on some typewritten paper with some self-rolled cigarettes and you’ll be good

Confessional poetry was a mistake

The earth and sky were unknown worlds to me
Only the expanse of my mother’s bosom was a world to me
Every movement was a symbol of life’s pleasure to me
My own speech was like a meaningless word to me
During infancy’s pain if somebody made me cry
The noise of the door chain would comfort me
Oh! How I stared at the moon for long hours
Staring at its silent journey among broken clouds
I would ask repeatedly about its mountains and plains
And how surprised would I be at that prudent lie
My eye was devoted to seeing, my lip was prone to speak
My heart was no less than inquisitiveness personified

the first thing youll need to know is not to write cliches

"YO LIBSS WAS INTOXICATIN' GURL"

none of that crap fren

When I have laid my yes upon your why
I feel as if the Holocaust was no;
I know that they all lived and all us die;
But you and I together, let us go
To Byzantine, to sail among the clouds
And forget it all, to love each other here;
Forgetting that the reaper all-enshrouds
The people here; with you I have no fear;
Set sail, we will, and laugh at all we see;
At cars and jobs, at corpses in the fields;
Forgetting all the death from memory;
And living in your yes; to make our shields;
I make your yes my thing, my love, my life;
To wield it here, and come to make you wife
