Three Poems by Jordan Castro

LOVE OR TRUST NO ONE INCLUDING YOURSELF BUT DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT JUST ACCEPT IT AS NECESSARY AND MOVE ON

no one is any less shitty than anyone else


people are selfish

you are a person


ok


REALLY BAD WITH MONEY

if money wasn't made to spend

then what was time made for?

THERE ARE CERTAIN GIRLS I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH WHO I'D LIKE TO HAVE SEX WITH BUT WILL NEVER HAVE SEX WITH AND THOUGH THIS IS A DEVASTATING TRUTH I MUST ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON

there are certain things that will never happen no matter how badly you want
 them to happen

because it isn't your decision

because it isn't my decision

because it isn't anyone's decision

but lucky for us...

(wait for it, wait for it)...

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MATTER!!!!!!!!!!

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MATTER!!!!!!!!!!

IT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE TO MATTER!!!!!!!!!!

I SWEAR!!!!!!!!!!

YOU AREN'T NEARLY AS IMPORTANT TO OTHER PEOPLE AS YOU
 ARE TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!

I SWEAR!!!!!!!!!!

(SO PLEASE, LETS) STOP BITCHING!!!!!!!!!!

YOU DON'T CONTROL THE EVENTS OF THE UNIVERSE AND NEITHER
 DO I AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!

BECAUSE YOU OR ME OR ANYONE AREN'T THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO
 EXIST – DESPITE WHAT WE'D LIKE TO BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!

it's time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and do something different for a change
