Some bleak truths. (Five Fleas)
A Lifelong Project
Accepting
that your poetry
is not
very good.

mistook the poem for periodontal machine
Thanks for the recommendation of Black Bag. Looks like a good watch.
A Lifelong Project basically sums up my experience in every English class poetry module I was forced into.
Well, *I* went into it knowing I have no talent and less interest in the subject, it was convincing my teachers and parents that was the real project...
