and your tumblr aesthetics
with your shit john green quotes
full of naivety and idealized concepts
of what romance is supposed to be.

i want to burn your paper towns
into a silver-spined grave looping
around the melted ink and torched page
and i want to shoot your gas balls
till they dive bomb the dust everyone
loves to proclaim as their aura.

and there is fault in our stars
'cause you believe you are one
and i'm sorry
but you're not even a setting sun;
forerunner of gatling gun stunners
you're more thief
(hiding) in the night (from life)
than ray of (shining) light (in the sky).

illusions of oasis making you look twice
when beauty becomes ugly--
beholding stare of immaturity;
eye maturing knowing nurturing hue
over letting nature torture you
is the best route for two.
1. i hate john green tumblr repostings more than anything because young people eat it up and think romantic relationships is this magical scenario instead of hard work. and that's tomfoolery fuckery right there.

2. but i wasn't gonna shit on romance entirely. just the thought that it's some euphoric utopia every time you're with a person is nonsense and the thought of always chasing something to show someone you love them instead of taking care of something or encouraging something upsets me greatly.

3. because i always chased the desire from running women. and to run like a mouse gets tiresome when the cat has no legs to stand on, realizes it only has one life, and stops chasing things not meant to be ran after. no one is meant to be chased, love is an action, not an effort. and by that, i mean, love shouldn't take effort to DO, it just should be a matter of doing that doesn't feel like effort because you love unabashedly and unconditionally. it's hard work, but should be worth it and wanted.

4. fuck the fault in our stars and paper towns. shit's mad corny to me. i like to think of love as less space and balls of gas, but more blue soles and grey fingers 'cause you'd die for that person and not just scream that you love someone on a rooftop like an asshat. no one wants to hear that.

5. john green's still cool though and if you love his books, fantastic. i totally understand why people love his stuff and that's fine by me. c:

6. plus, it's been a little long since i've written a snarky poem and you guys know by now i have to do that every so often just to keep it fresh, haha.

This is fun, I like this. It's just the right amount of snark.
From my observations most tumblers/tumblians/tumblonauts mean well, but they don't think before they reblog. An analysis or thoughtful musing can be hard to find. Too much focus on aesthetic , not much on personal feeling.
