When I have fears I won’t get likes After posting my senseless selfie (taken in my bathroom), After tweeting a witty, wasted “Yikes!” Upon seeing the latest Cyrus escapade on Reddit come afternoon; When I behold, upon night’s starred face, I see it through my IPhone’s two-dimensional screen, And I think that’s what’ll get the rest of the race To notice me, after all I’m important – I don’t mean To demean, but I’m the fairest creature of the hour; I sometimes fear that you shall never look upon me, Well I never have to worry for now I have the power Of unreserved reticence to bestow upon thee – **** the hollowed experience, the heart, the mind lag; For my exhausted existence has been validated #420yoloswag.

When I Have Fears That I Won't Get Likes
When I have fears I won’t get likes After posting my senseless selfie (taken in my bathroom), After tweeting a witty, wasted “Yikes!” Upon seeing the latest Cyrus escapade on Reddit come afternoon; When I behold, upon night’s starred face, I see it through my IPhone’s two-dimensional screen, And I think that’s what’ll get the rest of the race To notice me, after all I’m important – I don’t mean To demean, but I’m the fairest creature of the hour; I sometimes fear that you shall never look upon me, Well I never have to worry for now I have the power Of unreserved reticence to bestow upon thee – **** the hollowed experience, the heart, the mind lag; For my exhausted existence has been validated #420yoloswag.
An english assignment in which we had to choose a romantic poem and make a parody out of it.  I chose When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be, by John Keats.
