there must be a better way
but what is it?
beating head ‘gainst walls
expecting butterflies to
explode
from the fissure
nobody’s listening
writing about rebels while
paperclipping plain white pages
ineffective rages
of trapped princess
insane
beauty-loop of
fake
worthless
don’t know
how to
what to
no way
to make it
change

This imagery! I can see it so clearly in my head, like it’s a painting or a film.
Thankyou! I love that you made me re-see something in my own poem x I want to try drawing it now
