Laura Ottwell Poems

So many morals to your story
So many truths to your words
Being so strong when the world is so weak
Standing up and never backing down
...

Grandma told me not to lust
For cucumbers and kingly crust
But for pickles and of bread
This is what my grandma said
...

Compulsatory staring at the wall is all the rage with the teenagers of today.
In English, it is called 'acceptance'.

It is a job consisting of cheap but expensive duties. Pays well.
Buzzing conversations begin each morning.
...

only i can view my life
only i can say the uncontrollable things that i say
only me
...

on the land
takes 1 day
through the sea
takes 2 days
...

Biology is taken care of by History
I don't care as long as you're next to me
Confusion gives in
Nothing is win-win
...
