Wassup. My pronouns are he/him and my name is AlexTheEmoEmu (or just Alex). I like poetry, reading, and anime. Here on YWS I'm going to post my poems, most of which have to do with mental health and my personal dysphoria experience. I use my poems as a way to vent my emotions, so they generally mean a lot to me. I appreciate feedback, as I'm not very experienced in this form of writing.
Random quotes:
“Masks in one layer after another — as many as ten or twenty — had fastened themselves upon me, and I could no longer tell how sad any one of them really was.”
—Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
“I thought, “I want to die. I want to die more than ever before. There’s no chance now of a recovery. No matter what sort of thing I do, no matter what I do, it’s sure to be a failure, just a final coating applied to my shame. That dream of going on bicycles to see a waterfall framed in summer leaves—it was not for the likes of me. All that can happen now is that one foul, humiliating sin will be piled on another, and my sufferings will become only the more acute. I want to die. I must die. Living itself is the source of sin.”

“For someone like myself in whom the ability to trust others is so cracked and broken that I am wretchedly timid and am forever trying to read the expression on people's faces.”

I honestly don't know what else to put here, lol.
