Hello, for those of you out there who are willing to read this.
My name is Jay. Some of you may have seen my previous account, and may recognise my experiences or writing style. I would like to clarify that I am starting a new account here on Novni, and not on an actual social media account, because there are people here who need to see my poetry, and I've come to terms with the fact that I am not useless. I can help people. Through posting my poems, I hope that those of you who need it will find this.
I write poetry, as you've probably already deduced. I write about a lot of things- it's usually my way of channelling emotions and getting rid of negative thoughts. I don't just write for myself, either; if anybody wants a subject written about but doesn't have the creativity to write- or you just want to see someone else's view of your opinion- then I will gladly write a poem for you. All I need is a basic idea of your poem and perhaps a title if you have one ready- go ahead and give a comment if so.
I'll try to post my own poetry weekly; though it will be a little bit before I get into the habit.
Thank you for reading my long-winded introduction [I have a habit of explaining every little detail for my own, ADHD-crazed brain, sorry!], and here is my most recent poem for your trouble :) Have a lovely day!
--Eat Your Young--
Let them live, let them love
Worry only when push is far past shove
Never let them know when they’re not enough
Take from them their hearts and their souls
Cast the different out to the ghosts and ghouls
Never let the little ones see the morning light
For the stupid are happy and the weak don’t fight
Eat your young, eat your young
Love the taste of blood on your tongue, on your tongue
Life will be better if you eat your young
Let them watch the news and fatten all them up
With the horrors of the world, ask ‘em “Ain’t this fun”
Good dog, bad dog, pretty girl, handsome man
If you don’t fit the lines and you bite the hand
That feeds you, then they fear your mind
Don’t get too smart, don’t let them see
Your parents don’t ever want you to be free
Don’t go too far, hide your fear when you see the others bleed
Eat your young, eat your young
Love the taste of blood on your tongue, on your tongue
Life will be better if you eat your young
Eat your children, eat your mates
And always be afraid if they know their fates

ReplyThanks; It actually was based off of Eat Your Young by Hozier. I take no credit for the title.
