Assimilate grates on me the same way inclusion does. The Borg on Star Trek assimilate things. It is violent consumption with reckless disregard for the beauty others. Perhaps one day we humans will evolve to the point of cherishing the differences among us and being awed by our own diversity.

Please keep writing whenever time and inclination allow. You’re quite good at it and this world needs your voice. ☮️

these words make you a farmer who plants seeds. and the seeds must destroy themselves to evolve into new life. This poem destroys the soul to make it reborn with a new awareness

It’s as raw as it is heartbreaking. Hands that pray, break, work and love. 💔

Idk what has gotten into me to start reading these kind of words, but now I just realize why. After reading and absorbing, a familiar feeling came to me. Solace.

This is evidence of your infidelity. The unfaithful man, wait to die. You're not satisfied with Halsey yet. What makes you so confident? The unfaithful man, go to die

Thinking about other women and then kissing Halsey, Don't you think you're disgusting? Are you a man? You're not even as good as an animal, disloyal butt

Avan, I hope you die soon. Your poetry is very poor, and I didn't expect your people to be even worse. You say you are a poet, do you deserve it? Your talent is not enough, your people are even worse

If you're still thinking about your ex, you shouldn't sleep with Halsey. You should keep your chastity for her, otherwise she'll find you disgusting, and of course Halsey will find you even more disgusting

Those who disappoint Halsey's heart will swallow ten thousand silver needles! Avan should swallow it to make you die sooner

I feel this poem is so familiar,Have you ever written about it?

Are you cheating? Baby boy?Can cheaters get out of here? You're so fxcking sick if you don't love halsey and still stay with her

Avan, to be honest, if your heart is really as I thought, then I wish you a speedy death

With a new woman, you're still thinking about your ex. You're amazing, I admire you

You are a role model for men!Very True, I'm not mocking you
