Favorite Quote:
I go to seek a great perhaps -John Green


You watch the human race cry
as you burn our eyes,
Your tear-indulging layers sting my eyes,
as I try to display your flavor, that I am not able
to enjoy.
I hate you and all your cousins.
Scallions, chives, shallots, leeks,
Oh, how I loathe thee.
When I make the mistake and eat your atrociousness,
I cannot help but to protest, and ask my mother:
“Why, are you trying to punish me?”

My hatred to onions inspired me for this piece of poetry.
