My choices are mine — Typewriter Manuscript Poetry T-Shirt
Judgement travels cheaply when somebody else paid the price. This Filthy Poet poem keeps the choices with the person who actually lived through them.
About this item
The poem
Until you've lived my life, don't tell me what you'd do,
you weren't there for the shit I had to drag myself through.
You didn't walk my road or carry my pain,
or fight through the nights just to get up again.
You never saw the moments I nearly gave in,
or how hard I had to fight just to fucking begin.
You don't know the price of the choices I made,
or the parts of myself I had to bury and trade.
So keep your opinions, your judgement, your view,
because none of that bullshit was happening to you.
I've paid for my choices in ways you'll never see-
so what you fucking think doesn't matter to me.

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.
