A Rhyme About How I Drop Posts Like Batman Drops Villains

I’m in school, don’t wanna be here, So I’m editing my posts, bringin' the cheer. Got my iPad, I’m on the grind, Not paying attention—who’s got the time?

I’m like the Flash, but my posts are faster, Ignore the classwork, I’m the writing master. Don’t need no lessons, I’m in my zone, Posting like I'm the Queen of the Batcave throne.

Call me Catwoman, I steal your attention, Droppin' content like it’s my sole intention. I’m like Poison Ivy, I got a green thumb for words, But all I’m growing are these posts—no birds!

I’m like Harley Quinn, chaotic, but fine, Droppin’ posts quicker than the Joker drops lines. You want a meme? I’ll give you a show, I’m a schoolgirl by day, a Batfam pro.

So yeah, I’m in school, but who’s keeping track? While you’re all learnin’, I’m postin' back to back. You think I care about math or some test? Nah, I’m busy with AUs and getting my rest.

So if you see me postin' like there’s no tomorrow, Just know I’m procrastinating my sorrow. But hey, who needs focus? Not me, babe, not today, I’d rather drop 10 posts and get lost in my way.

Seeds

I’ve found a seed

that needs

to grow

but I know

that the ants

eat my plants.

But, look! I’m so lucky!

It’s just struck me,

here’s a very

very tiny berry.

march 1st / i am a nerd

get the feelings out

release the self doubt

look for a mountain of confidence.

i still can’t find it.

let alone climb it, but never mind the shit.

i’m not defined by what i wish for/

seeking bliss more/

i need to kiss her more too/

more in tune w. the bruises/

i should learn to wear a helmet more often.

a little more caution/

when im blowin dro in the wind/

not really boredom within/

but definitely complacency/

seeking safety in the spaces i need/

anxiety is a real b**ch, life feelin like a ditch sometimes.

or maybe this rip jus needs a stitch.

to fix the wrinkle in time/

but for now my mind oozes/

out of the cracks, my psyche wanders along the tracks/

constantly forgetting my way back.

tryna make a lasting impact/

to put society back on track/

placing the entire world quietly into my backpack

bloom

spring has a certain smell to it.

the breezes get a little more damp and alot less sharp.

as of right now, it’s march in pdx. everyone is looking for a patio to consume booze on. i’m not mad at it.

the quest to understand/ deal with love continues, along with the extreme repetitiveness of life as a wage slave. the way out of this maze is not particularly clear. most days i’m pretty sure we’re in the Matrix. Here’s to hoping though...

Actually, fuck, I’m supposed to be doing something about this alcoholism. The real question is... how do we break the cycles? How do we move beyond our current perspective and senses? Is the existentialist dread real? What do we really fee like?

Back to reality. I better keep jumping through these hoops if I expect to make it out of the jungle alive. I think the race thing will always be a problem. A problem we can overcome together, yes, but still a problem.

Honestly though, a little empathy goes a long way. We are not as different as we appear. Things are not as they seem.

I still can’t remember dreams either, but I’m happy to sleep. My friends and lovers have not been so lucky. But maybe literal insomnia is what I feel like most of the time. Trapped against my will. Full of anxiety. Full of self doubt.

What if I was speeding down the highway when my threshold passed? *

But still, balconies are beautiful. Suspended we are, in mid air, as the smoke swirls. It’s good to be among the birds for a change.
