Smells Like Teen Angst

This chapbook is a collection of poems taken from a website I made in late high school. The website was a band appreciation site, but I won't name the band, some very concerning reports have come out about them in the last few years. When these poems were written I was between 14 and 16 years old, and deep in my goth phase; I was enamoured of death, blood, magic, and vampires.
