I actually enjoyed this, so much. I am not fond of German, but this was... kind of epic. I like how you said "Du bist scheisse".

Keep Writing!

Extremely heartfelt, I got a great sense of what you were or still are feeling. I also liked the Deux es machina in the line about Taylor Swift, even though you probably didn't know that is what you were doing. The only drawback for me was that it was a bit long and monotonous, which I don't think works with a repetitive poem like this. Awesome-keep it up!

Bolshevik: You're right, I don't know what Deux es machina is. What is Deux es machina? Two something? Deux= two en francais. (I take Frecnch in school, I don't actually formally study German, if I did than maybe I could come up with more modifications to make the poem less monotonous )

Nike: Thank you for your comment, I'm happy you enjoyed the piece.

I just realized that a Russian and a Shoe have read my work This ist spass ("funny" in German. Schiesse and spass, I suppose that's simply all I need to know)

Sincerly Dankeshone for the support!

I found it to be annoying because it just seemed to drag on a bit.
