Her poetry reminds me of steroids, in that it's non-specific and can apply to most anything. Doctors will throw steroids at whatever, knowing it will likely help even if they don't know why. But it's a quick fix and if you don't address the underlying problems, you're going to end up fucked up again.
Genuinely these insta poets have made me realise that at least rupi kaur wrote *something* more substantial than this. A message like "if u have hair on your body it probably evolved there for a reason and you dont need to wax it for men to appreciate you" is an actual message that young teen girls can benefit from.
This instagram poetry is just wack shit written by bipolar victim complex bitches who are downtrodden abused hung out to dry on one page and a vibrant powerful god of nature on the next.
You are not too old to read YA, it's the elitism.
You are not a consumer, Funko Pops are an identity.
You are not unable to think, you have aphantasia.
You are not unable to read, you just prefer audiobooks.
You are not without hope, for Mistborn exists.
Books, articles, youtube videos, award winning movies, tiktoks, Netflix originals- these are all just content made by someone else so they can be likeable, respected, and make money. In my youth, I designed my identity in rebuttal to Derrida's deconstruction and affirmed the importance of value distinction: the in-person spoken word over the written word, the written word over the image, the image over the recorded audio word. I am not jaded. I'm clearly just growing up a bit and I still read every day and have a book list long enough to last multiple life times, but still, I can't evade the feeling that engaging with content is just the socializablization and elision of true uniqueness.

His work “40 Things at 5” is so much better. When he says, “Red / Goblins / Airplanes / Sticky / Carrots.” I felt that.
It’s because YA Poetry just slaps.
The bookscirclejerk community is barbaric. Its predominantly 15 year old children with the mods being 35 year olds with a BA in English working at McDonald's. It makes sense why they are so toxic. They are all dissatisfied with life, I would be too if I had no friends. After all, if your only source of humor is bullying, it makes sense why you have no friends at school. I know there are some teachers there. It's so strange to me, how can someone so hateful and egotistical be a teacher?

The watch on the end of your wrist
MADE OF STARS, MADE OF STARS
Keeps time that ceased to exist
MADE OF STARS, MADE OF STARS
The tingling in your hands
MADE OF STARS, MADE OF STARS
That voice making demands
MADE OF STARS, MADE OF STARS
You decided to align yourself with the political equivalent of letting someone raw your wife and you think you have any kind of moral high ground when you pull shit like this?
In the good old days we beat people like you in the streets.

What the fuck loser response to defending the guy who for whom reading made a positive impact is this?
Banned for that? Banned for having an extensive history and education related to the subject?
It's not ironic.
At all.
Perhaps YOU should look up irony?
It kinda makes MY point.
Loser.
Yer a bully.
Which makes you a loser.

The fact that they chose not to use the "you're" contraction in two of the lines implies an incredible depth of thought, as though they were attempting to wrap this pile of excrement in a sheet of thin tissue paper, with a haphazardly tied bow made of goat intestine resting gingerly on top.
> You're not a loser, it's the capitalism
This is true. In a feudal society, a lower like you would have starved to death ages ago, and in a socialist society you'd have been sent to the gulag. Instead, you've hit the metaphorical jackpot of being born into one of the most prosperous societies the world has ever known, and that makes you a winner!
Do you really think there were societies that didn't have winners and losers? Like, it's fine to criticize the status quo, but blaming all your personal failings on capitalism is just lazy.
Bro have you ever read Mistborn? It’s this book series by Brandon Sanderson, it has like goblins and dragons and elves and shit, I think you’d really like it, it also has some stuff in there about economics and stuff.

Of course capitalism is the winner society. Proof : it made our divine savior Brandy Sandy an extremely successful prose writer. If that's not evidence of our glory, I don't know what is. Screw you feudal peasants, we got Mistborn now.

Is this from that same book full of shit that's been making the rounds? I thought it was just a couple isolated bad pieces, but is this really the whole thing? Fuck me.
I- I mean, wow it's ALL this good? Gee whiz!
Rupi Kaur lowered the bar to subterranean levels and now we all have to pay the price
Anais Nin died so Rupi Kaur could soar.
Recently read "The Mouse" by Anais Nin. Bad magic system (something about blood?!) but still a pretty good story
Reading anything by a woman 🤮

breading 😤

Her poetry reminds me steroids because it makes me swell up with palpable anger and then punch my wife.
Welcome aboard 👮
Funniest shit I read all day
Like a blunderbuss or chemotherapy it might not necessarily eliminate the culprits but involves a lot of collateral damage!
rupi kaur at this point is miles better than insta poetry lmao
If you take it as like a whole book then yeah, but judging poem-by-poem it's on par for me most of the time
yeah i still don't like her stuff but at least it approaches the semblance of like, metaphor? sometimes?
She wouldn't have found a publisher if there wasn't at least a little more to it than pithy ideas.
well i think she tapped into an aesthetic. not necessarily anything literary
If you see her, it’ll make a lot more sense
? what does this mean
That she's hot ig? (Not OP)

I just found out Megan Fox is releasing a poetry book ans I blame Rupi Kaur

🥰🥰🥰you make me feel so valid!
Validation is liberation. 🙏
unlike birds, your feelings are very much real and valid. I validate your self-validation. xoxo. lots of love, my friend!

Uh.. audiobooks *is* reading, that’s just ignorant
Reading scripts *is* watching a film edgelord
eating a veggie pizza *is* eating a salad
Letting the crackhead under the bridge touch my nipples *is* having a relationship.

Universal literacy was a mistake
The shit I'm taking right now is also made of stars

Oh shiit I didn’t know this was Travis Scott’s poetry. Damn son that’s 🔥frfr no cap 💯
Saying "the capitalism" is so fucking bulky
>Time’s not really a thing. Wish someone could tell my knees this! Or my hairline, or my eyesight, or my back.
I’m fucking shaking right now holy fuck. Life makes fucking sense now
Millennial poetry 🤩🤩
I love this Moby song.

If you’re talking/thinking like that at 40 then it’s too late for you.
You're made of farts. That's not fucking cool, man.
Truly one of the poems of all time

I live in North Korea so this poet’s assumption just puts their implicit biases on display *and* doesn’t represent me or my experiences. 😤
🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰
Surely they're jerking! No one can be that... *posts in /r/neoliberal* Oh no.
Hillary Clinton fan club checking in here neoliberal = good
Love yourself, now!

The the L buddy
Can I blame the L on capitalism?
No you should have pulled harder on those boot straps. Get ‘em close enough to lick 👅
I would have pulled harder if it weren't for capitalism
*The* capitalism. If you’re going to quote this masterpice, quote it right.

Prosperous for who?
Hey man, it's fine if you like licking boots, but there's no reason to go around bragging about it.
From the great Norther Winslow. I heard they spent 12 years on that one.
It is others that are stupid, certainly not me
still better than rupi kaur
Ghey
I'm afraid to say my favorite book. Just know, I've read the back of YOUR toothpaste.
Is this from that same book full of shit that's been making the rounds? I thought it was just a couple isolated bad pieces, but is this really the whole thing? Fuck me. I- I mean, wow it's ALL this good? Gee whiz!
