a poem i wrote

i don't really post here ever but now i'm posting a poem i wrote:

There is a new generation

Basking in catharsis

Emotional hypochondriacs

They will rejoice in their genius set down on paper

Hold it up to the moon after writing a poem

And they dream about a meeting between Holden Caulfield

And that phony Willy Loman

Because they so loved the classics they read in high school, they were that kid

And they are such well-rounded individuals

Just trying to be well-rounded individuals

And get into grad school at NYU

And after reading Hemingway and even Berryman, they

Just try to think of the most "alt" way to kill themselves

And they do not realize the irony of their whining

Their whining about how nobody will appreciate the brilliance of their poetry
