so long, cover girl poetry means letting go of the compulsion to cover every base cover my ass and just let what I wrote be enough * This is a poem from my book, jaded. I tend to overthink, over-explain, over-worry, and over-write. So I started writing poetry as a way to NOT do those things. So far, it's working. Speaking of jaded, if you buy a signed copy this month for $20 (free US shipping), you can have a free signed copy of unbelieve for just $6 more. Comment here or text/DM me wherever. And do you know about Substack Notes? It's like Twitter but nice and friendly (so far). If you don't have the Substack app yet, download it and let's connect on Notes. Any friends out there who OVER-do? How's that going for you?

Love this. I tend to get stuck in the cover cycle too, so this poem is a revelation to me.
Agreed about Poetry. What a liberation. ❤️
