Whatever You Turn On,
Prepare To Shut It Off...
Or Plan To Not Plan...
Unmeasured Doesn’t
Run Out...
Get.

Sometimes, people
Throw dirt at you
Just shake it off.
I have a new piece that's 416 characters too long for the poetry section.
Called "shake it off"

I hope you like it =]
I've always thought poetry as a form of art done by once upon a time. Surely something intelligent, raw and beautiful.
Can't help feeling useless whenever I tried to do the same cause it won't be. So I just pulled my pen out and write.
Fighting my mind. Just shake it off. Shake it off.
Wipe your tears you'll be all right
shake it off and smile for once in awhile
trust me honey you'll be alright so shake it off
and don't let go of him through the night
cause honey you'll regret when you let go,
he's one in a million, so is your life and your soul.
So honey shake it off and show your smile it only comes
every once in awhile.
