I’m Rowan (they/them)

I mostly post original poetry, and some non-original stuff

I love Hozier

I need friends

that’s about it

Look to the dawn for hope,

To the dusk for closure

Look to the day for contrast,

 to the night for grey

Look to others for empathy,

And for truth, look inside you

does it seem necessary to you?

a teddy bear

fur smoke-fringed

buried under layers of rubble

the news shows an outside view

smoke still billowing

from a bomb deemed necessary

millions watch the embers fade

but the story of the bear

gets told about as often as the story of the boy

who owned it

feedback welcome :)

Id been dead only an hour

Unseen, floating around

I wanted this, whys it taste so sour

I’m free from this cruel world, finally unbound

Gone from the agony

Released from the pain

From the raggedy

Free from the shame

Yet still.

Food turned saw dust-

Blankets no more soft

It all turns to rust

Underneath my touch

I’d been dead only an hour

The settled taste was sour

But just to taste cherry,

I wished quite the contrary

Wake Up

The world cracks and splinters beneath my feet

And you tell me the earth stands strong

Everyone out there with nothing to eat

But no, of course I am wrong

Like molasses, moving ever-slow

And never acting

You don't strike much, but when so it hits with a blow

What's it to you- everything you are impacting

So high up you can't feel the world tremble

Cant see the cracks even with squinted eyes

You only rise higher as everything crumbles

Everyone's deprivation only fuels your highs

After millennia of cracks, the world shatters

But to you, none of it matters

no you, you don't deject

You simply move on, ignoring your jacket- blood flecked

feedback welcome :)

sometimes you just need to rewatch dps and end it right after the play

i think that quite possibly one of the best lines in dead poets society is after the walking exercise when keating's like "i see the look in your eyes like 'i would have walked differently'. then ask yourselves why you were clapping" GOD that line is so fucking good. he really killed the hubris about to jump out in every single teenage boy there
