The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.

We can’t afford rent or groceries, get shot and murdered in public and our food is literally poisoning us slowly but yesssss go the fuck on with your TikTok ban 🥴🥴
The worst part about this #ChiefsParade shooting is not a damn thing is going to happen.
Just thoughts and prayers, a patch on the jersey, or a sticker on the helmet next year.
But nothing will change, and there will be another mass shooting next month.
Sickening.
