Group Chat Rules

A poem by Sarah Lampsa, Writer


The rules of this group chat are as follows:

you must have everything in lowercase letters 

you must keep all judgement to yourself

you must keep your lips sealed 

you must tell us everything

you must reveal every thought 

you must be depressed 

you must be scared 

you must not call anyone a th*t

you must date 

you must hate 

against all of the hate 

because the only way to put out a fire is with fire

you didn’t know that? 

you’re dumb. you’re stupid. you’re immature and you don’t matter. 

haha same. me. lol. 

don’t say lol you idiot that’s what they say 

let’s meet in person

yeah it’s at your house

hey let’s run around with a knife and threaten to kill ourselves and don’t tell me that’s triggering because haha me too.

we’re all going through the same thing but mine’s so much worse how could you dare tell me

it’s not 

how can you compare yourself to me

You’re such a thot


Oh, you thought that was a rule? 

Well rules are made to be broken. Didn’t you know that? 


because it didn’t matter when you opened your mouth and told the whole school that i was something i can’t bring myself to be.

it didn’t matter when those words were thrown around like the butterflies in my stomach i didn’t feel for her. 

it didn’t matter when i was stuck in a relationship that i couldn’t get out of because the anxiety in my heart was tearing me apart from the inside out.

it didn’t matter to you when i imploded.
