okay so i suck at poems
i cant do poems unless its something like a haiku where theres a rule involved
and i cant recognize poems if i make one without the rules,,
but i think i made a poem,
and i'm proud of it??
i got inspiration for it bc i was reading a book that had a poem in every chapter and lately my sister has gotten into poetry and she actually got books that had award winning poems in them for christmas
but yeah,,
i dont have a good name for it so i just called it the writer
-
there once was a person.
they loved to write.
and they loved it so much that they poured their heart and soul into it.
so much, that it became to define them.
just like that they were pressed into the little mold and forced to wear that label.
their parents only talked about them when they won a new award for their writing.
their teachers only praised them when they had a new story for everyone to read.
the kids in the hall only thought about that one defining feature the person had.
the way that person's fingers moved on the keyboard when inspiration struck them.
that person had dug their own grave and now they were choking on the dirt they met when they tried to push open the coffin.
that was, until, one friend found them.
the writer, of course, had friends in school that knew their personality, but to have a stranger meet them and look over their stories was very rewarding.
as they had that one stranger pull them out of the ground, the friends they already had began to help too.
and more and more friends found the writer, and more and more friends dug the writer out.
the writer soon realized that they were not just a writer.
they were so much more.
they were someone who loved reading.
who loved watching shitty sitcoms at midnight.
who loved drawing.
who loved watching anime.
who loved the cold more than the hot.
who loved many things.
and those many things weren't writing.
there once was a person.
they loved to write.
but they loved a lot of other things too.
-
now that i reread over it im still proud but i want to revise stuff but i'm not going to because i want it to stay as a draft and not as something that was perfected
but yeah,, i dont really like revealing any poems i make to people but i just really wanted to show this one
im not good at writing poems though like i said,, unless they have rules or something
but now i'm just repeating myself so i'll just publish this and go
