Keep moving forward — Typewriter Manuscript Poetry T-Shirt
A mistake can teach you without becoming a life sentence. This Filthy Poet poem owns the bad chapter and refuses to spend the rest of the book stuck there.
About this item
The poem
I fucked up. Properly.
I've got receipts for the lot,
made choices so bad
even hindsight said, "What the fuck?"
But one shitty chapter
doesn't get the whole damn book,
and I'm not staying guilty just because
somebody wants me stuck.
I owned it, I learned,
I stopped making that mistake,
dragged myself forward
even when I hated every step I'd take.
So keep pointing backwards
if that's where you choose to live-
I'm not serving a fucking life sentence
for the stupid shit I did.

What garment-dyed means
The tee is coloured after it has been sewn. Pigment-dyed shades have a softer, weathered finish; other shades have a more even appearance. Small differences in shade are part of garment dyeing.
Before your first wear
Wash separately in cold water. Pigment-dyed colours can release loose pigment, even after the first wash, and may stain lighter items.
Then wash with similar colours. If colour is still releasing, keep washing separately.
| Wash | Turn inside out. Machine wash cold, maximum 30°C, with similar colours. |
|---|---|
| Dry | Air dry where possible, or tumble dry on low heat. |
| The print | Never iron directly over the printed design. |
| Avoid | Bleach and dry cleaning. |
Always follow the care label supplied with your tee.
