Just a weird, edgy little poem for the weird little mindset I’ve found myself in today. Not super thrilled with it, but oh well. Writing something is always better than writing nothing.
Thank you everyone for reading! I hope to be more active as of late ♥️

I feel this a lot most days.
You may not be thrilled, but it resonated with me.
Don't you dare say this isn't good. Damn you, girl! lol. Sorry, that sounded cross and tell-off-y lol. I just mean, I really like this and like how looks and do believe you've hit on something with the theme and the title is also great and what drew me in. I'm sorry you're feeling off though, and yes, writing something and even hitting publish, even when we're not sure it's the bestest we can write, is better than avoiding it or putting it off. But, needless to say, this is a lot better than you might think or believe.
I like the way this looks - it reflects monotony and the trudging steps we take to move forward through life's dullness and unfulfillment. Good stuff.
I love the white space you created for this piece. You spoke words of truth, it’s amazing how you can tell a story and move it along in one line, same as lives down the street, this was a great rhyme. You’re very aware and in touch with reality, and you are right, writing something is always better than writing nothing.
Sorry you're in a weird mood today. I hope writing this made you feel better. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I like your directness and your ability to transport others into a world of critical thinking. ...humbleness....
The Rut....yes, it exists
The flow of this poem was incredible! Love this! 💌
This has got to be one of my favourite things that you've written. :)
We need to break free of it once in a while, yes. Clever layout, too!
