My Rat Heaven and More Poetry

  Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 Today, I’m going to share 3 poems I wrote. The song recommendations for today are:


 Lana Del Rey’s “Ride” is a song that, in my opinion, reveals how she wants to “find a home” in the wrong places. However, many interpretations have been made, and the meaning of this song is extremely subjective. Let’s check out some opinions Redditors have:

 The song “anything”, by Adrianne Lenker, just like her song “half return”, has been viral in social media. The singersongwriter, on their Apple Music album information, wrote about how this song came to mind:
“It’s a montage of many different images that I had stored in my mind from being with this person. I guess there’s a thread of sweetness through it all, through things as intense as getting bit by a dog and having to go to the ER. It’s like everything gets strung together like when you’re falling in love; it feels like when you’re in a relationship or in that space of getting to know someone. It doesn’t matter what’s happening, because you’re just with them. I wanted to encapsulate something or internalize something of the beauty of that relationship.”

 

my rat heaven.

a time traveler
a secret unraveler
took me by plane to heaven
i found a new obsession
goodbye to my depression
 
i got a room
i got a toy like Doraemon
can get wrench AND Louis Vuitton
is this a curse or a boon

whatever i wanted 
i could just make appear
wishes one hundred
but they had to be clear

so i got some lab rats
they’re cute but whatever
got a couple hats
im just beyond clever

got one stuck in a cage
venom inside with rage
it was not Schrödinger cat
it was just Schrödinger’s rat

fed rats some candy bars
gave them some mini cars
let some fall back to earth
in my room they’re nothing worth

nothing’s worth for me
when i can get all for free
maybe i’d enjoy it more if my wishes were only 3

made a city for rats
the evil ones went to jail
the ones who crafted hats
got theirselves a free bail

and it was so much 
and i had such weird friends
they came in clutch
they had such good hand to lend

and it was okay every day
until it became not okay
the rat on the cage was dead…
i guess it was his deathbed.

FBI found out about this
and went after me
they said “heaven’s a good country,
no animal cruelty.”

my toy made me a plane
and “make they no see” thing
it was such a huge pain
so much pain i had to cling

eventually i escaped
to a hot place called hell
there was no one at the door
even after i rang the bell

 Written on June 20 as a gift for a lauver. This poem is pretty random and imaginative, and open for interpretation. It can show us that we should think before doing something or using the powers we have, how we should care more for the ones we love, and how what we do can change who wants us, since, in hell, they would usually take anyone, but, this time, they didn’t even bother to explain why they didn’t want to take me in.

want to myself overline

growing up I've tried to find
how precious is precious time
how to get stuff off of my mind
how to myself overline 

I've been feeling sonder 
I can't help but just wonder
is it just me or not just me
who thinks and talks and eats and sleeps

and once more I
came to meet the night
bright to be moonlight 
bright is the moonlight

once again I
came to meet the night
bright is the moonlight 
bright is the moonlight

today walked 10 thousand steps
today done did zero reps
saw 1 2 3 or 4 cats
wore my hair as if a hat

hi lie dee lie hi lie dee lie
hi lie dee lie hi lie dee
hi lie dee la la hi lie dee li
hi lie dee la lie hi lie la lie

time's expensive to supply 
quickly it goes bye bye bye bye
would you like to walk
yes what's the price 
one, eighty minutes, a cup of ice

and once again I
came to meet the night
bright is the moonlight 
I'm under the moonlight

should I write more or just shut up
one stanza more shut the hell up
the moon that was down is now up 
is this the sonder, the sonder hub

the others live and so do I
sleep I now, if not, why
my name's in blue underlined
from red to blue underlined

 Written on July 14th. This poem reflects on the realisation that other people also have life and thoughts of their own (sonder), how time is precious and “expensive to supply”, and that, even after walking 10000 steps, though healthy, you’d have done 0 reps of any exercise. The two last verses reveal that the writer was once feeling bad, or “awaiting death”, but now feeling important, just like water. The color blue may also simbolize sadness, though I, as the writer, didn’t originally mean it. 

happy birthday, glad you’re here.


catch my breath as I walk

i forgot what was today 

it was someone’s birthday

and while night I walk


thank you for reminding me

it went over my head

hope you’ve a nice day had

hello to society


the sky’s prettier than me

with like orange shades

the phone says that it’s late

vinyl’s on repeat


one more year you lived

thank all you did

i’m so glad, hope you’re okay

happy birthday.


 Written on July 18th. I wrote this poem trying to imitate my feelings yesterday. I went on a walk, and during the walk, someone hinted to me it was their birthday. I had forgotten. The sky was really pretty though. This person, with whom I don’t really talk to, is one of the most important in my life, and I’ve always worried about their mental health.
