Some of you might notice: the first line is from "Another Cup" by lil peep and drippinsopretty. I used it as a prompt for the song, bored in the class that I have an exam for tomorrow, lol. You can probably tell the imagery is very gothboiclique-style neo-romantic, but hopefully with my own personality infused into the imagery. And it is, really, how I feel. This, unintentionally, predicted the very night out I would have after class that wednesday, and I wrote it in accordingly. I then realised, in class on Friday, once the poem was written and I was trying to find a name, that it had been ash wednesday. I had drippinsopretty's flow in mind with each line (though I could stray because I'm not a rapper, mwahaha). Does that count as plagiarism? Hopefully not. It's inspired, anyway. I'm fascinated, at the moment, with trying to immortalise myself in dark but magical imagery, which I suppose is just a wannabe peep with some pathetic faint hints of Gabriel Garcia Marquez / Murakami / Winton style magic realism. Oh well. I suppose I shouldn't criticise a poem so much on its own post. Too late now!
