'Booktubers' are mentally ill by default.

I know this one girl who started reading 3 months ago and now is a full blown 'bookworm' with a youtube channel and all the other shit.

They just do it for the attention and mostly read shit books

Eyes looking at me
seeing through my lies
waiting for my demise
I'm sorry I lied
I just want to be wanted
But now I'm haunted
by scars that show

who I really am

I walk in these darkened streets
thinking the world so bleak
tonight feels like just for me
no strangers to be seen

"I am glad" I scream in my head
"I am glad" I whisper, feeling dread
Then I am surprised
for there is an echo outside
calling a response
yelling to be heard
yet, it is only the screetch of a bird

(I push away the empty space
reminding me that sad place
behind that loud school
behind the disgraced fools

I silently curse my well off life
trying to act like I have strife
But this feeling of dread keeps gnawing on my bones
making me feeling oh, so cold

I wish I could yell "I am glad"
To the windowed strangers, behind my back
to the people I will never meet
even If I see them on this busy street)

I saw these old poems on a computer I'm getting rid of. God, nothing has changed. Nothing has changed at all.

Please don't leave me alone guys.

Sometimes we find it difficult to word our feelings

By looking up new expressive words, you may discover new words that reflect your exact feelings!

Use shapes, colours and images to reflect how you feel

Poetry is meant to be read and performed!

Perform classics, contemporary works, or something of your own!

Is Allen Ginsberg the single worst "poet" of all time?

He was just a mentally underdeveloped pervert who wrote dirty shit that made hippies giggle.
