Untitled (4472)

I bow my head before you / I bow as deep as I can / I bow without tipping over / this is all I can give / this is all I am

Untitled (4473)

There is a ghost inside me / as I age it smiles and waits / there is a soul around me / as I progress it withers / there are questions lingering / about purpose and paths ahead / they will not tell me / so I wait

Untitled (4474)

He gave up love on a whim / desires distorted by thoughts / thoughts corrupted by desires / love the ultimate loss / he gives no more / capricious fool

Untitled (4475)

Fingerprinted and lip stained / the glass is tainted / empty yet useful / tomorrow I will remember / regret and surrender / again and again and again

Untitled (4476)

blood rain / the streets awash with red / I do not understand / blood rain / my feet covered in what? / blood from death? / blood from birth? / blood from the petty veins of a poet suffering? / blood rain / falling / blood rain / covering my world

Untitled (4477)

I pry my eyes open / to awaken the beast within / a crowbar of the lesser kind / only painful memories leveraging / I pry my eyes open / I awaken once again / not long before the numbing starts / repeat and repeating still

March 29th Tumblr Mobile Update

poetbitesback:

Hey, so as many of you know – I hate tumblr. I hate how they change formatting without regard for writers. I hate how people constantly steal work. I hate the unnecessary unkindness that seems to permeate this space. But most importantly, I hate update that effect things already posted. 

For my dear mobile readers, none of my poems have line breaks anymore regardless of whether they were posted in quote or text. As we all know, tumblr updated a while back and fucked up quote, then they changed them, then they fucked them up, and now they have fucked them up more. 

Honestly, I am really tired of the content I produce being manipulated in this way and feeling as though I am unable to present my writing in the way I want. Message me if you know of a way to keep my line break’s integrity on mobile. 

I am really at the point where I just don’t want to post because people don’t want to read things that seemingly don’t make sense. 

Another user requesting @staff to step up and own the problem of formatting. Lots of upset people in this neighbourhood. Take action @brimurph as CTO this should fall under your domain.

Tumblr formatting fuckup

chucklingpecan:

When viewed on mobile the formatting of every poem I ever posted has been destroyed. (Oddly they show up correctly on computer) It’s fucking infuriating.

Come of @staff It is time you stepped up and owned this problem. Lots of upset people in this neighbourhood. Take action @brimurph

Close to just deleting my blog after all of these years. Trying to navigate Tumblr via browser is bullshit, but the app has gotten so bad it’s unusable. FUCK THIS BULLSHIT. I AM SO ANGRY.
