Shit rant poems

1 minute

Buzzfeed likes to remind me
Of fake news and sponsored articles

And insta with it's repeating ads inbetween stories

But most of all
I hate wattpad

For its reminder every time I publish something

The question of should I write more

And am I sure that I wanna put this out there?

Because I don't care if my work

Takes 36 seconds
Or a singular minute
To read

Or even that it's all about sad unrequited love, my sexuality and anxieties

As I like to think

That my writing takes longer to comprehend

Than it does to just read it

And that people look further

Than basic bitch meanings and interpretations of my words

I know what I am,
And what I write I'm writing about

It's what I must write about

Because I want my voice to be heard

And to express myself
The way I can't in the 'real world'

My words aren't about being a 500 word chapter
With 1.5k reads
And enough votes to get a watty

I just want to write
And be read

As little or as much as people want to

To project little pieces of me
All across the world
In small expressive pieces

And to hear others as well

Thats why I'm here

Thats why I'll stay

And to appreciate people's work
Is why I'll stay
For longer than a minute

Because I want them to do the same for mine
