Don't Try, I Told You I Was Ill
"We drink to forget we’re thirsty, write to forget we can’t speak, and carry madness like a lucky coin in our pocket. They’ll call you broken, but what’s whole ever felt half as real?"
DON'T TRY, I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL
W. J. Manares
Gritty lines from the gutter meet daft rhymes in tutus. These poems pour beer on broken hearts, tell jokes to empty rooms, and mix bare-knuckle truth with madcap soul. Life’s a mess, so we might as well laugh while we bleed.
