“Which upon further reflection I realized was not that serious.” That’s me every time I write poetry 😂

[@probablyjustanotherhuman8714]

I love how this poems feels soft and stable, like the feeling you get a few hours after you stopped crying when your head feels clear again, sort of 'it's going to be okay, its already more okay than it was'

[@ourspoetica]

I both hate and love that feeling! - Paige

NO. FRICKIN. WAY.
Miss Kelley! I took your WMS class at Davis! You were one of my favorite professors! Seeing your work featured here was SO FRICKIN COOL :D

Don't break a heart of a poets... they will write things about you.

[@SarahScratches]

or a singer/songwriter, they'll sing about you.

You know what it sort of reminds me of? The song _Monster_ by dodie. Maybe because of the similar imagery in the music video

[@ourspoetica]

Well now I have to look up this song! - Paige

[@kujmous]

Were the locks changed, though?

[@just.donutssss]

The one dislike probably comes from the ex she wrote the poem for/about😂
