1.)
poetry shouldn't always be self-help
the same words over and over again
everything is going to be okay
you are strong
but it's not and i'm not
what are the poets of this generation thinking
turning into therapists and psychiatrists2.)
why is poetry being defaced
reduced to pointless single-line statements
that are only written to fill empty space
and look aesthetic on a page3.)
why are poetry books so damn expensive
why are there so many empty pages
why is depression being ridiculed
why is feminism being taken advantage of
am i not a poet if i do not write about sex
do i deserve to be called a poet
what did poetry do to deserve this treatmentso many questions about poetry
this is why i write and write and write
i write to break hearts, not cure them
i write to hurt and to blame
and sometimes the healing comes with the pain
