"Roses are red, my dad is a prick, don't make me go to work, I'd rather die," Barty whines.
"That doesn't even rhyme," Regulus mutters.
Barty grunts. "Poetry doesn't have to rhyme. You taught me that. Anyway, it's better than whatever you're writing about, no doubt. Make a note of it, would you? I'm a genius."
"Roses are red, get out of my bed, do as I said, or I'll remove your fucking head," Regulus snaps, even as he twists his wrist and writes Barry's stupid poem in the margin, signing it with 'an idiot who, sadly, thinks he's a genius.'
[crimson rivers, chapter 32: gifts]
or, a teenager who expresses their frustration with the world through poetry.
She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers.
I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism.
I really hope none of you relate with any of these :)
I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can.
The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day.
