A Poem for Spring
In which John welcomes the (calendrical) arrival of Spring by reciting some poetry, and also tells a story about moving to Indianapolis.
Quite possibly John Green’s finest literary work
JOHN
Nice, peaceful, visionary, joyous.
Lover of peace, hope, and Jennifer.
Who believed that World Peace could someday be.
Who wanted good grades, high moral standards, and World Peace.
Who used his money, his love, and his writing.
Who gave his money, his love, and everything he had.
Who said, “Visualize World Peace; it could happen.”

"Poetry is just so emo,’ he said. ‘Oh, the pain. The pain. It always rains. In my soul."
John Green, Paper Towns (via hankandjohnsaid)
Alaska Young
Smoking cigarettes
eyes rimmed dark, cherry red lips
pressed in a smirk ofamusement at the
multitude of lovely boys
who threw themselves ather in a rush to
feel her, heal her, conceal her,
from the demons shecreated for me.
To this day I wonder how
someone as dull asI could even try
to compete with someone as
dangerous as her.A hurricane that
destroyed everything I loved.
Alaska you hadso much of what I
desired but not the sense,
to love them more than yourself.
An Idea That You Love
Imagine me complexly, won’t you please.
Put a stop to the exaggeration.
I am just a person, why can’t you see?
That’s not me in your imagination.
You see me as a druggie, dirty, a whore,
An adventure, an enigma. A lie.
You know nothing, yet you want to know more.
This is the me that you adore, but why?
The real person is one you all detest
I fulfill none of your expectations.
I am not here to be what you request.
Stop your outrageous accusations!
What a treacherous thing it is to see
A person as more than a person.
