I'm a fucking masochist.


            --dear, let's think of
                      pleasantries to exchange
              like christmas gifts or
                  stocks.


NO.


I will not make nice,
play your game for weeks on end,
only to
realize that you're a
supermassive back hole and
proceed to the
nearest exit.

(a slight jog, so you won't
know that I'm
trembling but I've got a
fighting chance at
escape)



is this what it feels like?
fear, I mean.

    i have no critique. it's fine. your free verse is lovely, and this is a refreshing bit from you. it was provocative, and that's all it needed to be.

    -- that is the absolute shit.
    I can never get that format to work. it always just looks shitty and left aligned anyway or I have to fix it like a million times and it gives me a headache.

    congratulations on the gold.

    this is so awesome. a really interesting take on the emotion fear. it's not what most people think of initially, but it is scary.
