And on the way up
He may say
That you will hear many people’s reasonings
as to what
Constitutes as a ‘proper writer’
If it makes you feel
He says
Then that is good
If it makes you wonder
Then you are heading somewhere
Your grammar should be proper
Your image should be on point
Disaster writing and depression talks
Isn’t something he fathoms
And if it was up to him
He’d have my hand in a paper shredder
My words
ripped to
fragments
My world
Burned
To ashes.
