I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?

[ love, wikipedia // falling, clare elsaesser // the kindly ones, neil gaiman // peace, taylor swift // capsized, clare elsaesser // 14 lines from love letters or suicide notes, doc luben // end of the world, clare elsaesser // oh distant you, wilbur soot // motherthing, ainslie hogarth ]

"like a wild animal gnawing off a leg to escape the jaws of a trap, i force myself to find new places to call home. inescapable choices to deal with inescapable tragedies. i just worry that i only have so many legs to stand on, and one day i'll fall and hit the basement of loneliness."

what is the nature of sacrifice?

fake out - fall out boy // atonement (2007) // the year in ugliness by arabelle sicardi // 14 lines from love letters or suicide notes by doc luben // crazy rich asians (2018) // the perks of being a wallflower (2012) // symphony no. 2 in c minor, or the resurrection symphony - gustav mahler // myself

14 lines from love letters or suicide notes - doc luben

dude. that piece is just. i dont even have words. im going to get a tattoo inspired by this soon because it just really means a lot.

wild geese - mary oliver

"you do not have to be good" i burst into tears every time i hear this poem. her reading it is a sound to dance and sob to. its incredible

the minister of loneliness - sarah kay

this is my favorite of hers but she is incredible in general. the imagery is just so beautiful.she also has one called a bird made of birds and its just. her work is so human but KIND. humanity is kind.

and the psych ward says - anita d

everyone who works in psychiatry should watch her preform this poem, and actually think about it. your hospital is not better than hers its horrible everywhere. this poem is incredible and horrifying.

i like a lot of my own poems but im proud of one i finished lately. it uses water imagery in a way im proud of and is long without being overly so . ill release it here once i figure out how to format long form poetry on this fuckin site.

PLEASSEE GO LISTEN/READ THESE POEMS THEYRE SO GOOD. SUPPORT THESE POETS TOO PLEASE!!!!!!!
