Aubade by Philip Larkin
This poem perfectly encapsulates my fear of death. Clearly I need to read one of his collections; surely the man who wrote a poem like this + the definitive poem on parenting is going to provide a more enjoyable read than William Carlos "Interminable" Williams or Allen "I Just Threw Up a Poem on the Floor" Ginsberg.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift
This song really resonates with me--not the particular scenarios, not the exact things Swift worries about, but the concept at large, the idea of being your own worst enemy. Those scenes in the video where she's hanging out with herself fucking up are just *chef's kiss*--yes! The idea that you're screwing it up and you know you're screwing it up, and you just keep doing it anyway: It's me. Hi! I'm the problem. Yeah.
