“You’re a rookie
You think you’ll be the first to put those words in that order?
please write more about how you’ll die if someone doesn’t come over
Your entire privileged life advertises itself in one ******* hand
smartphone buzzing, your keychain that comes with a whip and a home
clangs and clatters ‘I am I am I am’--a brat.

and a mimic. Did you catch that Bell Jar reference?
Of course you did, you yearn to be more tortured than you are
Better to be a reflection of true artistry than…
wait, what is it you think you are again?

‘You have to really love the process’
tell yourself that sweetie
the ups and downs of putting pen to paper and words to ideas
writer’s block is probably a shocking hardship for you, talk about a struggle!
what the hell do you have to say?

Telling me I should listen to your opinion?
You don’t know anything about me
I’m not some character you created and can control in your brain
--I don’t like you! And there’s not much you can do about it because
“real world” people like me aren’t always what you want.
And you’re probably not used to that

Well?
Why aren’t you saying anything?
You’re the one claiming your words have weight
so use them!
It’s the only way you’re going to get ******* like me to shut up.”
You are usually your own worst critic.
