Deep-diving into the culprits of my self-deprecation, "Discount Shakespeare" showcases all 50 of my poems, originally posted on Twitter, which I had written from my high school years to this day (whenever this gets published, I guess).

Penned, ultimate
Pen the ultimate.
Pen YOUR ultimate.
Pen a pair of eyes for aliens to help them see the stories of the earth. Pen a canvas inked with numbers, sewn through golden spirals and polygons. Pen pockets of air to feed their young and yearning hearts. Pen your words and let them feast. On science. On math. On time and space. On Newton's Laws of Motion. On a Formula One race.
They invaded this planet in a rigorous search for fervor, and that's what you give them — not out of duty or responsibility, but out of the purpose held captive by your truths.
So, don't hold back.
Give them heaven. Give them havens. Give them the MET Gala in all its Christ-like couture, wrapping their heads around the belief that carrying a cross on your neck doesn't — and probably never will — equate to wearing your heart on your sleeve.
Show them the hell that is history. Show them words pierced through the outlaws and the oppressed. Show them the outrage of the past that fuels their hate like gasoline. Show them the way to museums of every nation. Let them salvage words on golden plaques and bulls in china stores. But don't let any hazards get to them, please. Don't you want them to live? Yeah, that's what I thought. And speaking of thinking, why not let them do some for once?
You've come a long way. You deserve it. Let them think. Let their minds roam. Let their thoughts color them curious. Bring them to words that frolic across valleys and beyond the Seven Seas. To the Eighth Wonder of the World that no post cards could hold captive. And then, back to you, to teach them learning, and putting weight on their words for future adventures.
You'll discover soon that you can travel the world without moving a single muscle.
