I honestly agree with this. This is great. I love how you put the brackets there and stuff.
My Favorite part is:
"Do not envy poets.
We are producers and consumers of despair,
recycling over and over our same hurts:
[your scars are an earthquake.]
[he smoked cigarettes too much—
it's hard to romanticize cancer
but i can find a way...]
You can rip us open but all you'll find
are half-baked metaphors and tallow candles
burning down to stumps on our ribs.
[even our own deaths are not sacred;]
[she starved herself—no money left—
and tried to suck the marrow
from the shadows gathering under her eyes.]"
And poets give me headaches because they always try to rhyme and to get their point, you have to study the 12 line poems for like a week and a half.
It is so stupid.
Good job, Morrgain!!
