Between Evolution and Renaissance

by Tehreem Zahra


My writing style is changing 

I was thinking about evolution the other day 

It's weird, it's really strange, I can rhyme everything I won't say 

Like I'd like eggs for breakfast tomorrow and that I'd love to see your face

And I have started to be a little more honest with myself and that's concerning 

I'd like to delete the previous text but then living is about learning 

To be cool while be yearning 

Okay! I regret writing all that I just did,

If only I could go back to when I was a kid 

Because monsters under the bed must be quieter than the voices inside my head 

And these voices, they're so friendly, I can't help but oblige

Only for remorse and revulsion to be my  prize
