(content warning) Transcendence and Urges

[rowens]

How can a poem be gratuitous if it's true? Scenarios like this are real. And I think, when you get a feeling, an abstract feeling that you need to find a subject for, sometimes it requires this type of thing. But that's how I feel. The feeling has nothing to do with rape or anything else. But if it's rape, or violence or racism or suicide or anything, that suits the intensity of the feeling, those are the best subjects to handle.

But culture's so saturated with these things, it's commonplace, yet still manages to get people's attention sometimes.
