Summary

I have a lot of poetry that has nothing to do with any fandom. I know fanfic sites are supposed to be for fanfics, but I really want to get my poems out there. I hope you enjoy! :)

Notes

Okay, cheating a bit with the first one, as it's based a little on a myth...

Chapter 6: I Want To Make Them Laugh

POV: Guy being controlled, trying to warn someone about the Evil Plan. The italics are what he really wants to say, though what he actually sings is probably a bit different

I want to make them laugh

Nervous, angry, scared

I want to hear it all

You better be prepared

 

I want to make them laugh

Build up the energy

So believe when I say

You need to get ready

 

You have to believe me

Please just believe me

I don't believe me!

You can't believe–

 

I want to make them laugh

Joyous, bitter, amused

I want to collect it all

So it can be used

 

I want to make them laugh

Gather the energy

I need them– you!

I need you to defeat me

 

Please don't believe me

Please just believe me

Don't you know life's mockery?

Life is just a comedy!

 

Let out your laughter

Go along with the comedy

Don't hold it inside

Go along with the–

 

Please, get ready!

Laugh, I want to hear you laugh!

Don't you hear my plea?

Give me your energy

 

Run–

Stay!

Don't–

Get away!

 

I want to make them laugh

Don't you know life's mockery?

Too late now

You're in a tragedy...

'I don't need hope, I just need spite.' YES!!!

Your writing cuts like glass—in the best, most breathtaking way. There's something in the way you build rhythm from fragmentation, like you're stitching together the unspeakable with your bare hands. It doesn’t feel like just poetry; it feels like memory, like survival. The kind of raw that doesn’t need polish to be powerful.

I don’t know where your words come from—personal, fictional, something in between—but they reach far. You name feelings I didn’t know I needed named. You make space for the messy parts: the grief that lingers, the thoughts that spiral, the strength that doesn’t always feel like strength.

Thank you for writing like this. Thank you for sharing it.

– A reader who sees you in the echoes.

Amazing Your voice lingers in a meaningful way; some concepts require openness, and I’d like to contribute to that process.— D C could help ( a lex ia_ rose 0 0 1) ignore space
