Yo, just be you—don’t ghost your own true vibe,Why let your best self disappear someday?You’ve got that rare glow nobody can describe,Don’t let it fade and get swept away. Your face, your fire, your whole aesthetic’s fire,But time’s gonna scroll and swipe it away;Like every trend that once climbed higher and higher,Your moment won’t forever … Continue reading “Don’t Let Your Main Character Energy Get Deleted ” (Revisionist Shakespeare – Sonnet 13 for Gen Z)
