You will be okay.
...
The world isn't jealous of everyone, but you.
Under its golden crown, it expulses you from happiness.
You have found cell bars hiding you away from the plastic people
who haven't discovered that their hinges are coming loose.

The world isn't afraid of everyone, but you.
Under its golden crown, you aren't there.
The world thinks it has buried you
but the hinges are coming off.

The world is absolute,
flourishing massacres with its sharp tongue.
It explodes our rights, masking them like supernovas;
something needed for life to continue.

You'll be okay. Don't let them take you down.
Up above, in the skies far from Earth, there is a crown.
This one isn't golden, silver, blue or green.
It is our minds.

You'll be okay. I promise you.
Take back your thousand suns and be happy.
Knock the crown off the world's head and
claim the one hidden amidst the clouds.

Take it back. For you. For me. For everyone.
Retrieve our minds.
Once upon a revolution.
...
You'll be okay.
A ramen bowl - the pained cheeks squeezing still
Above the porcelain throne, his thighs caressed
In great strain, his bowels seeking to un-fill,
Whereon the chilled white seat his buttocks pressed.

Will those cherished friends wait for him to push
This fiery feces from his loosening thighs?
And how can body, poised above that flush,
But feel the fat **** throbbing where it lies?

A shudder in the ***** expulses there
The burning ***, a plop, that lost half-hour,
And thick brown smear…
                                            Being so immense,
So swollen, in the thick stench of the air,
Did he envisage he would need a shower
Before the indifferent cheeks did let that drop?
This is a satire of Yeats’ famous “Leda and the Swan”

I realised “A ramen bowl” sounds kinda similar to “A sudden blow”
