Unserious poetry by an unhinged poet
Poetry
It’s okay. You can rest. There is no race. There is no test. There is no need to make a sound. There is nobody else around. There is a reason to improve. A time to stop. A time to move. If you need to fall apart, you are allowed
Poetry
Strings pull in opposing directions Threaten to tighten their hold Every step stitches them deeper Binding me fast to the mold I’m scared to split down the middle ‘Stop exaggerating’ I am told Afraid a single mistake shatters And leaves me alone in the cold A crevasse this deep
Poetry
I don’t have your answers I only found mine El mundo no lo vemos como es, sino como somos nosotres We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are
Poetry
