how to become a writer.
don't.
stay away from
pencils and pens.
don't look
at keyboards
or at blank pages
of notebook paper.
don't submit
to the emerald sigh of
vellichor,
the shredded sheets
of everything,
everything you've worked
your whole life to run away from.
don't live in the moment.
let love and fear float by,
just a skimming whisper,
because a whisper
is better than nothing.
a whisper is better
than the brittle falling-apart
of kairosclerosis.
suffer from catoptric tristesse,
but don't think about it
(for too long, anyways.)
look at the mirror
but never look yourself
in the eye,
because who knows what you've become?
don't write what you're feeling.

Can I Quit Now by sackermanmo, literature

Can I Quit Now
Can I quit now?
I’ve had enough
of you telling me how to be
and who to be
and why to be
and even when to be
Can I quit now?
I’ve had too much
of loving alone
and suffering alone
and coping alone
and even being alone
Can I quit now?
I’ve had so little
of joy in life
and passion in life
and hope in life
and even growth in life
Can I quit now?
