This is very lyrically strong, and I really suggest you look up the poem "She Got, He Got" by Jayne Cortez and watch the video of her performance!! I think this poem, if you wish to experiment more, would be really cool as a villanelle! The line "You see, forgiveness is his revenge on himself" struck me the most. I'm excited to see more of this and others from you!!
"My mother says that he is still my blood / So I'll drain myself dry" is SO profound. I appreciate the matter-of-fact style, leaving no room for the semblance of redemption. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, friend. <3
thank youu <33 i love cats but sadly my old cat recently died so i made this for him!! to answer your question, the old cat will return one day, it'll take time but he will return :)
That's a really cool idea! I don't really know if I want to write happier it's just like any time I show someone my writing they are always like "why is it all so sad?" Or "who hurt you?" And than I feel like I shouldn't be writing it

Wonderful political piece, and very timely for what is happening. Keep writing, this is liberation. This is protest in its prime.
Yay! :D
(PS sorry to hear that you're cat died. Ur poem is beautiful tho!)

Cool poem! I find this kind of relatable, especially the part about wanting to trust the people who betrayed you.
agreed! <3
Such a beautiful poem about pets. Now I really really want to get one
