i'm sick of people saying being a writer is all about "writing." that's flat-out wrong. being a writer is all about talking about writing— and then coming up with excuses for why you can't.

“You don’t have to die to matter. / You don’t have to be covered in blood to deserve a warm bath.”

Quiet Beauty
A beauty that goes unnoticed,
Is still a beauty that exists,
It doesn't need to be flaunted,
Or even persist.
It's in the quiet, hidden things,
That true beauty can be found,
In the simple moments that bring,
Peace and solace all around.
The flowers that bloom unseen,
The stars that twinkle in the night,
The gentle breeze that's in between,
All the chaos and the fight.
The beauty that lies within,
Is not asking for attention,
It's content to simply begin,
And radiate without mention.
So let us pause and take a look,
At the beauty that's all around,
In every nook and every crook,
A treasure to be found.
For beautiful things don't need,
To be noticed or be seen,
Their existence is indeed,
A wonder in and of itself, serene.

Porn Is A Mans Best Friend
Porn is a mans best friend
Whether alone or within his girlfriend
Inside her fleshlight adversary
Or as her dildo mortuary
Adding to his fleshlight cemetary
On a swipe away for the next veiled arbitrary
For when the best of friends he can have is porn
Is when the sanctity of intimacy is halved and torn

To be pretty is a curse,
Do they love me for me,
Or for the looks I adorn?
They call me pretty,
And adore my smile,
But what about my imperfections;
My crooked teeth inside.
Mesmerized by appearance,
They come in swarms,
They admire the beauty,
Only a few possess of.
They see the surface,
And think it is enough,
But sooner or later,
When the gold layer wears off,
They realise,
I am not the one they want;
"Appearances often deceive" they say,
And it's true,
But love isn't short lived,
Residing in fleeting glances,
It's in memories of a lifetime,
And late night dances.
Therefore it is important to know,
That beauty attracts,
What only love can keep,
Because when it comes to feelings,
Love is undoubtedly supreme.
