I hate poetry.
It’s always SO depressing.
Why is it that whenever poetry is written, it has to be a downer?
It’s never about anything, but boys.
Oh, boys.
What is the teenage-world coming to?
I refuse to be infested by this infestation.
I refuse.

Inspired by all of the poetry I have recently read, although I've read some good ones.
