No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

The facade of my coolness, such as it is, slips away

Much much faster than I could anticipate

Every time I think I’ve got this ‘human’ thing cracked

The edges start to bubble and the truth comes out

So yes, I’ll use emojis and I’ll use more than one

And yes, I’ll leave the light on just in case you come home

And sure I’d rather spend my time collecting Pokémon

But you’ve gotta catch ‘em all, guys, not just some

And maybe I’ll adorn my body and home with dino friends,

But if you can’t see the appeal, apologies – our love must end

I don’t know who decided what was “right” anyway,

Rules were made to be ignored, and so, hear me when I say

Be weird! Be odd! Be different! Be wonderfully strange!

You may as well at any rate, be unafraid of change

Change is all is all is all is all is all we’ve got

Change is all is all is all it’s all we’ve bloody got
