How to Be a Mad Poet
First, be mad.
Then own it.
Breathe in the anxiety,
use it as fuel.
You might have to lie down
and breathe through the depression.
Itâs ok, think of it as recharging.
Be mad at the mad world
that doesnât want to hold a place for you,
but donât let its madness make you mad(der).
Put it down, put it all down,
write it all out.
Youâre not alone.
