Hi! Here are those poems you ordered. You can probably tell I got a little lazy with the haiku, but it turns out it's pretty hard to get inspired when you're stuck in a snowy ghost town! Who knew?
1.Cage
There was a hole in the wall. That’s where it began. I noticed it by chance and, with foolish curiosity, peered through. And what I saw... A universe of vast depth and complexity. A reality of intense brightness and vibrance. It stretched out so much further than I could have imagined possible. I reeled back, struck wordless with awe and terror. I looked around my little room. For the first time, I saw how small and empty it was. What I’d thought was the sky was just the ceiling of a cage. What I’d mistaken for the ocean was just a tiny droplet. No, not even that. The shadow of a droplet.
For so long, I sought an escape. I clawed at the walls until my fingers bled, Trails of red marking the bars of my cell. I screamed my voice raw calling for help. Thinking I could never get out, I despaired. And in that moment, my call was answered. A gentle voice, reaching out to me from the other side. Through that hole in the wall. I had been found, and I knew I would be saved.

I can’t play guitar But even if I knew how My fingers are numb
are you planning to share you little literary masterpieces with the general public? you'd have carsen drooling over original material he can add to his library
ahaha no i imagine there might be some interesting lyrics there but I have a hard time taking religious topics seriously no I meant actual real rap I used to just dismiss it because I had that common perception that it's just stupid bragging and violence and sexism but when I gave it a chance I discovered that it can actually be an amazingly strong medium in the use of words

[He wants to popcorn the fallout and people who inevitably try to follow suit with their own angst-ridden poetry. It should be entertaining.]
