2.17.2024: two poems i wanna keep from creative writing

༺୨♡︎୧༺

Rot.

If I rot as I lay

Maybe my remains

Will grow something beautiful

From my decay

Humiliation.

Envy carves into my every 

vein. Venomous,

it neglects to tell me

About the

Effects

It has.


All I see

Is what it lets me.


I rank everything

In my mind

Starting from the bottom

Instead of the top


Seeing people below me

Keeps me from burning

Stepping on their hands

And throats

Keeps me alive


I find my means

In this tournament

And try to keep my eyes

Down


So I don’t have to look

Up


Anymore
