Dead Poets Still Save Me

I see the same words
Over and over
Bleeding hearts
Desperate for attention
Slit wrists
Wannabe misfits
Trying to paint pain as poetry
Shallow insincerity
I write to release
But I read to escape
Returning to dead poets
Who had to work to be read.

Excellent! I love it.

By the way, if you're interested, my latest post has information on how you can get a free download of a short comic book story I wrote. But you have to act before Monday, March 1st!
