Sh1t Poem
Author:

Years ago when I was ten, I wrote a poem about love. Apparently it was so well written that it got published in some book. I found it today again, and laughed at myself. So here's my response to it now, years later. Rated M for language.

"Born and you are loved

Nurtured because you are loved

The love and laughter is growing

Because your life keeps on going

Love is like an element

Because it brings life."

Hold up young self

What the fuck you talking about?

"born and you are loved" that's shit I'm telling you

Bet you didn't expect the family breaking up

Months after this shit poem

Was all written up?

This poem's a curse

And you don't even know it

As soon as this was published

Life tore into bits.

Friends moved away

Now who're you going to call?

Left all alone now

just facing a wall.

You're trying

I'm dying

I'm crying

I'm sighing

And you didn't even know

Til this shit poem

became a curse and a foe.

Did you expect a fairy tail?

A Happy ending?

Bet you thought happiness was trending?

And I bet you were surprised

to see a bunch of lies

in the family, lies to yourself

heartbreaks, and betrayal,

and even the devil himself.

So ten year old self,

Like what you see?

A depressed, a lonely, all grown-up like me?

I bet not

So shut up about love,

You never understood what it was really like

Until you saw your true face

Your true self-

I'm telling you please quit.

Rip that poem out

Like my ten year old heart-

Cuz your poem?

Is shit.
