Quotes by Brett Fletcher Lauer (?)

“I don’t remember when I first allowed a boy to treat me like a dagger, or the first time I discovered that crying in the rain underneath a boy you don’t love or won’t remember isn’t the fastest route to god, to heaven, or the torments of truth.”
― Brett Fletcher Lauer, Please Excuse This Poem: 100 New Poets for the Next Generation

“Everyone was happier. But where did the sadness go? People wanted to know. They didn’t want it collecting in their elbows or knees then popping up later.”
― Brett Fletcher Lauer, Please Excuse This Poem: 100 New Poets for the Next Generation
