Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Random Poem:

Still here?
felix

I am still here, I am still me
 1
the drugs have taken over
 2
but I still have my identity.
 3
I will not allow a high to steal my soul
 4
Who am I kidding, I have no control
 5
I am still here as the night turns into day
 6
I am still here and
 7
the drugs again have gotten their way.
 8
Am I still here?
 9
I don't think I have been here for a while
 10
How did I not know
 11
that the drugs took away my smile.
 12
When I find my way back
 13
on this long lonely road
 14
I hope that I am not too injured
 15
so my story could be told.
