more sad, true poems. often about mental health issues, spoken straight from the heart. I don't recommend looking at this folder if you're sensitive to self-harm topics.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
