oh, and i got sent to therapy because...

I spent a lot of time with therapists because my parents thought twenty "millionyearsinparentheses" meant I was holding feelings in, that blue "robininmylungs" meant I wanted to kill myself.
i was a stupid little kid who sensed the spaces between the words in my poems. The kid who still senses the hesitation from I all the way to you.
My dad never wanted me to be a writer. He thinks being a poet is stupid. He tells me that all the poets are dead, and i'm not one of them.
He tells me the era of poets passed, and i should do something productive with my life.
Yeah, Shakespeare is dead.
But he lives inside of me.
