I am that which must always overcome itself.
Every morning I will wake up and tear down what I've built.

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satin's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"
Plath is one of my favorite poets. It pains me when people I tell people this and they dismiss her as being a "confessional" poet- as if confessional poetry is second rate and therefore so is she. To all of that I say read your so called confessional poets and open your mind a teensy bit. Or not. We don't need you anyway xo

Desperately kicking
Trying to stay afloat
It went from calm, still waters
To thundering white caps
Within a matter of seconds
The pain was dull, serene
Hiding behind ripples and bubbles
But now it’s pounding
Tearing apart flesh and bones
What I wouldn’t give to go back
To the easy, gentle flow
Rocking slowly with a smile
Please just take me back

Donald Trump has made many quite fussy;
as he did for one actor, named Jussie.
In the end, the abuse
was revealed as fake noose,
two Nigerians, red hats, and one *****.

It's so rotten, one almost can smell it
and it's painfully shameful to tell it;
but this fellow named Smollett
reached deep in his wallet.
Some bought it, when he tried to sell it.
Just corner Kevin and ask him about it:

Put The B.A.M.E on me.
Scroungers taking our
Dole, NHS and social
housing, bring on Brexit
Angela Smith and tell
Pocahontas to get back
to where she came from.

What are you writing?
why are you writing?
Everyone wants to know

But I don't want them to know

that I write poems

and what
my poems
are about

For some there's an exit
fed up of the Brexit
May goes to Brussels
no backstop she begs it.

Westminster talks make
no sense so they vex it
If Guy Fawkes had a vote
he'd no doubt go for kegs it.
