POEM STARTER
Submitted by Karman
Write a poem about the protagonist getting something off of their chest.
Whatever
Trying to blow up is such a chore
You pour your soul into it for just a “hurr”
Is it ‘cause there’s no rhyme scheme
Or the subject matter’s too explicit?
Would you prefer I littered my poem with trigger warnings in it?
I don’t know who I’m trying to please
You don’t even know me
As far as my eyes can see
The algorithm won’t show me
Off to anybody out here
So I might as well keep my works in the drafts like I did last year
But last year I was scared
This year I’m just mad
Both crazy and angry
Because i’m tired of being sad
And honestly, this poem sucks
Because it’s not a work of art
There are no hidden meanings
Or references to Avant
Because I’m bored and hypersensitive
And happen to own a phone
Or maybe I’m writing this because
There’s no wifi at home
