here you go
just for you
Page 47

The angels have fled
I'm alone, crying in bed
my blood sings to me
begging me to set it free

Black devil wings on my back
showing me the things I lack
to be a normal member of the human race
I cry through a veil of velvet lace

Alas my rhyming skills are shit
and my emo poetry sucks a bit
It's a mashup of those angsty words
bobbing in a sea of verbs, like turds

haha when I was twelve
I went through an angsty stage of writing poetry like that. My mother probably still treasures some of them as blossoming talent.

she went through her own time of laughing herself senseless at me

and watch me cringe.

It doesn't help
that she's an author herself. I haven't written any poetry at all since that time.

I stick to what I'm good at.
