peer rank.

my peer rank is of utmost importance,
on a site that deals with nauseating sentimental bullshit.
it's not "ink", it's 1's and 0's.
i was raped at 11 years old,
you wanna hear about that?
i've woken up in hospital, full of charcoal, and wired to a cardiograph three times.
you wanna hear about that?
i'm an alcoholic, and everything that goes with it.
you wanna hear about that?
i will not consider myself a victim though.

i'm white trash living on an english council estate.
i fear no one apart from myself.
i know some big words, i ain't gonna use them.
broken hearts and "new love of my life"
fuck off.

read ginsberg.
read reality.

i just wander lonely................

Fuck comments. Keep me updated on your writing, always great to hear another original voice amongst the '10,000 whispering.'

hi eric. when i read the line "i know some big words, i ain't going to use them", i read it as "ain't gonna use them." you use "wanna" throughout the poem and i like the conversational tone. i get the sense of you just talking to someone in you council flat. if you change "going to" to "gonna" it will help keep the tone.
i have no idea how to give you a "peer rank" and increase the green on that bar.
