who cares/ motivation

No one will read this
So ill read it fast
Why am I even reading amateur poetry?
Because he is my so-called friend?

this is too self-reflexive
What, is he joking?
This is garbage
I don't think this is garbage

I don't understand this
What is he getting at?
This really is stupid
This is the same frustration I feel all day

What am I doing?

Not the generation

We don't want books
We don't like recipes
We don't have time for recipe books

Subway takes 3 minutes, plus 20 seconds if you want it toasted.
"Combo, chips and drink?"

She didn't even say a complete sentence. She didn't even put the indefinite article "a" before drink.

Im back in my car in 3 min 34 sec. I just broke my PR. I'm waiting for the first self-service Subway.

Blog

Robert Frost comes in, his words stir emotion
Will I be a better poet?
Never, but I don't have this aim

The world does not need another artist
Nor another writer, at least not of my calibur

The world needs not another unbiased storyteller
Another Shakespeare
Another shuffling of words

The world needs help
Help sorting through too much information
Help with finances, medical problems, psychogical black holes
Help with self-help

But I have my own problems
I sit here, may as well be Neptune, and I claim to know what people need
Who the hell am I too claim to understand the world?

You will see.
