you created the day of love in the drop of your hands as a falling star Circling the universe with a tear drop as big as the moon

A Milestone: My First Bad Review
Some might think one is meshuggah, (crazy in Jewish Swedish slang), for saying they hit a big milestone as a writer for sharing their first bad review. Sometimes the craziest thing is the realest thing we can do for ourselves. It’s scary, I won’t lie, to put this out in the open to the public. Even if only one person reads this, it puts me in the position to be judged. I made peace with it.

Rewritten

Ate all my entropy up
I seemed to have some side of trouble added to my morning eggs—-I had a little more time to look at my entropy that piled up like clean laundry on the bed

The only lonely thing in the universe
I am so lonely yet I am never alone I long to be alone I long to be a blue, blue eyed star Tears that flow like love down the body of the celestial vessel
