if you have the balls you will live without a mask
alas, i am no such being, it is far more convenient to wear it and pretend to navigate the world

I like it. /lit/'s hatred of insta poetry is misplaced. There is much, much worse "poetry" being published in practically every literary journal.

>I'm so tired of being here
>Suppressed by all my childish fears
>And if you have to leave
>I wish that you would just leave
>'Cause your presence still lingers here
>And it won't leave me alone

You are what you pretend to be. Therefore, you're a normie.

This is doggerel. If someone comes up with it in a bar when everyone is drunk as shit they go “woah” and he gets a back slap. Good one.
It’s not made to be published.
