Why isn't it enough to just be pretty any more though?

You know some people aren't pretty or intelligent or brave

I like to call those people Veeky Forums browsers

Is she implying in this poem that intelligence is not something you're born with?

hating on rupi is no longer cool

get with the times or

how does this pass for poetry?
its just bad prose written in poetic form

Is that you, Hillary? I appreciate all you're doing for us

Literally yes. Pic related will be the Aeneid of our time, THE classic.

Are you implying that the way he feels about some sluts in disguise should be considered as the face of contemporary literature?

It's something that one must develop and cultivate. Just being born with a good mind isn't enough - you still have to put time into acquiring knowledge, engaging with complex ideas, and expanding your intellectual horizons. If you don't do that, then regardless of your IQ or whatever, you're not going to be very smart.

Rather than raw intelligence she is probably talking about either erudition, creativity or self-awareness, which are all cultivated skills (which are surely aided by high intelligence, but still accessible past a certain treshold that is met by most people).

i cannot believe i had to wait 7 lines for her to come with a ridiculous metaphor

Why couldn't this have just been a paragraph?

dude that shit is legit I learned the power of it from the narutofan.com forums like 13 years ago

after my paranoiac reading
of popular psychological and feminist literature
my life is defined by a terror of oppression
i hitherto barely perceived.
everything is potentially harmful
a thicket of razor-sharp horror
enshrouding our shrinking pockets of safety
in an ever-less-tolerant world.
micro-agressions are everywhere
and everyone is either an aggressor
or a battered survivor --
whether or not her marks are visible.

Outstanding!

Facebook status broken into lines: the poem.

This picture is retarded. No the instructions by levin, no vollmann, no gass, no mcelroy, no witz, no nadas. Kys

What's sad is that this is infinitely better than her real poems.

Oh god.

Do you guys think that pseuds like this girl's poetry unironically? Or is it a sad joke by white people to ironically push a woman whose style is complete shit to showcase that women can't write?
