Maybe we should continue the actual poem now XD

I concur

Is this thread dead now? I was kind of enjoying the randomness of it.

T.T

You think I'd be allowed to post the next bit of it, just to keep it going? Or no, because I shouldn't do two in a row?

(I gotchu)
Everything's gone to hell
Look's like I'm to blame

Even the animals
Seem to know what I did

Drenched in cold tears
Screaming out your name

(Edit: I'm sorry if my couplets are a bit depressing. I'm not feeling the best today. If I need to, I can change them. Just let me know if they bother you.)

Even though you weren't real
Live, please don't be dead

Drowning under the weight of my problems
Struggling to keep out the voices in my head

Don't stroke that pineapple
Even though everything's gone wrong

Grasp onto my hand and keep hold
Don't let go no matter what I do

Open your eyes
Sleeping is no good

Don't live your life in lies, you're perfect
Take hold of your future, don't go into eternal sleep

Please survive to write your story
Share it to help others feel complete

Even if they'll die someday
Yesterday isn't today

What no this makes no sense and is somehow also really angsty help.

Yearn to understand others and have others understand you
Unique, wonderful you who grows as time moves on

Never stopping
Grieving the seconds

you missed an opportunity for "never stop never stopping"

No, because you have to start the next line with the letter the first line ended with. "never stop" ends with a P and "never stopping" starts with an N.

I meant just using "never stop never stopping" in the first line :P

I'm imagining whispering rn, are you imagining whispering?

I wasn't before but now I am XD

@Masterkey are you actually contributing to writing the poem or just following along and providing commentary? (That sounds accusatory. That wasn't meant to sound accusatory).

you're right, I didn't feel qualified to continue a poem but I like inserting myself anyways. XD Well I'll do it:

So fill your sail
Long for the sea
