don't send me your poetry

please, please,

i beg of you. don't send me your
poetry.
your stories.
your manuscript.
if you do, i will be brutally honest
as others are with me.

the knife is sharp
and it will cut deep, prepare
yourself for the worst.

and if you want to be a writer.
read.

read books.
read poetry.
write until you bleed.

everyday. every chance you get.
wake up and write.
before you go to sleep, write.

and for God's sake,

stop looking at your phone.
