Due to some pressures given by an unsuspected increase in followers-*cough*coolkyrah*cough*-I have decided to start publishing stuff. Although I have been with Wattpad for two years I still have a book that I started but never finished or published because I have contracted a severe "illness" which makes it difficult for me to advance when writing stories therefore I have never finished writing one (omitting short ones). However I will use this as an opportunity to try and also to put out my atrocious poetry. Beginning it all with a poem I wrote for a competition I never entered.
ABYSS or Dare
There was a choice to continuously follow and be followed like a circuit of sheep. This place is called ABYSS because there is no end to the cycle. The appeal was the feeling of being liked. As an answer I countlessly rehearsed this long verse:
Sometimes I wonder why and how this is,
To spend half of your most precious time here;
This restriction on life that is ABYSS.
No way out but is that something to fear?
"Yes! There is a life out there." Shout the ones,
The ones who should feel left out but we don't.
The ones know there is another way. Tons.
We turn away from where they are devote.
Our details come from word-of-mouth. That, I muse
The most authentic, it is yours or ours.
But I do understand why they do choose.
It builds links, but I know it can break stars.
Dare to turn away from mindless gossip?
Go from social media deposit?
