    All your poems are so pretty! ;v;

    This is one of the more recent poems I wrote. I’m kind of proud of it, and I think that the reason it’s so much better than most of my poems is because it’s sincere.

    In Which the End of the World is a Metaphor

    Well, they say today’s the day the world will end
    So I thought that we might spend today as friends
    I’ll break out the chips and coke
    You can set the TV up
    And we’ll make fun of old cartoons again

    When the power goes out as happens in disasters
    We’ll lie on the floor in the light of a storm lantern
    Fight over Monopoly
    Tell tales that aren’t scary
    We can stay up late tonight forever

    And when the final light goes dark at last
    The sky begins to fall and Trumpet gives its blast
    We will simply sing along
    Though Armageddon may rage on
    We’ll hold each other through the final crash

    They say today’s the day the world will end
    And that scares me a lot I won’t pretend
    But when the Saints go marching in
    If we go marching hand in hand
    Perhaps someday my world will finally mend
