so burn your bridges, warrior child,
before someone else lights them up
so freeze your heart, war-torn child,
before someone else leaves it cold
so dig your grave, war-born child,
before someone else buries you
—and if they ask—call it peace ( j.p. )

Do you still have the Please let him be Happy poem up? I want to read the original thing Ive seen bits and pieces of it but i would love to read it fully💕
hello darling! you can find that poem here!
this ask has been a useful lesson in the complete un-searchability of this blog. my more recent works are generally tagged with the title and/or opening line, but that doesn’t help for the older pieces. the only tip i have for those is that all my poems are tagged #poetics, and the more popular ones are (admittedly inconsistently) tagged by number of notes.

you know i learned from someone…very special…
that no matter what happened in the past,
it’s never too late to build something new.

every once in a while someone who only knows me & my poetry via tumblr osmosis and/or my more recent works instead of the 2014 stucky days discovers that it is not actually an accident that many of my poems from that era are so stucky coded
and it always brings me a lot of delight
