The Speaker's Corner 

 

Do you want to be loud and obnoxious 

Do you want to force people to listen to your crazy ideas 

Or have you ran out of ideas for your poetry 

Well, come on down to The Speaker's Corner 

Learn how to speak because 

Nobody actually knows how to do that 

 

The Speaker's Corner 

Your favorite mentally ill writers club 

What is a writer without a mental illness 

It makes your work wayyyy more interesting 

And I don't know fucking relatable  

To that edgy 14 year old  

Who's just discovered Edgar Allan Poe for the first time 

 

You see when you are a writer 

You can nearly say anything 

Because if your good at writing  

You're obviously mentally ill  

And that's what makes the best poems
