L. V., I Found This Poem In The Backbone Of A Dead Society

What
tragedy
it must be
to live without

a mind, and
for others,
not at
all.

listen. until you begin to have dreams of letting people into your life again.
listen. until you desire to be a part of someone else’s life again.

Hey! So I’ve made a rather new discord server for writers, authors, poets and other types of literature lovers for specifically the romance genre! I was wondering if you’d like to check it out or if you knew anyone who’d like it! I don’t want to self promo in your asks but I’m also too shy to DM you. So just let me know in your answer and I’ll DM you if that’s alright 😅🫶🏻 Love your posts!

Hi, thank you! <3 I don't have a discord, unfortunately (maybe this is what will finally get me to make one). This sounds great, though. DM me, please. I could mention it on my other blog as well—more writers follow that blog.
