Natsuki sees how YuriвЂ™s dark poems about her guilty pleasure draw praise from the rest of the DDLC while her poems are said to be childish, and this worries her. Amy in this poem is Yuri, and вЂњloving spidersвЂќ is a nod to YuriвЂ™s self-mutilation. This poem was written in juxtaposition to YuriвЂ™s RaccoonВ poem (see below), a fairly obvious metaphor of her cutting. However, there are potentially much deeper meanings if you look closely. The world is better off without spider lovers.ДЄt first glance, this looks like another cute Natsuki poem thatвЂ™s a fun read. It doesnвЂ™t matter if it doesnвЂ™t hurt anyone. It doesnвЂ™t matter if she keeps it private. It doesnвЂ™t matter if she has other hobbies. What if her friends start to like spiders too? She likes spiders, so her hands are probably gross. I heard her singing my favorite love song.Д®very time she sang the chorus, my heart would pound to the rhythm of the words.ДЄmy helped me up and took me to the nurse. ItвЂ™s possible though, that this вЂњgiving upвЂќ is somewhat related to her abusive situation at home. Her poems generally have the least hidden meaning as she likes the message to jump out at readers.

This cute poem, as Natsuki directly tells you, is about giving up (similar to YuriвЂ™s first poem below). She sees her suicide as a result of her love for the protagonist, and the final two lines imply that her depression will continue, even after she вЂњstops moving.вЂќ ItвЂ™s clearly a reference to MonikaвЂ™s meddling in SayoriвЂ™s emotions to make her more depressed, and Sayori seems to have become somewhat aware of her presence. This poem is the first вЂњscaryвЂќ moment of the game, as itвЂ™s shown before the protagonist discovers SayoriвЂ™s corpse. Get out of my head before I finish writing this poem. Get out of my head before I show you how much I love you. Get out of my head before I listen to everything she said to me. Get out of my head before I do what I know is best for you.

Eventually she runs out, and her head is devoid of any real happiness. As a result, Sayori tries and tries to find positivity to give to her friends, digging deeper into her feelings in the process. This sad poem is about SayoriвЂ™s relationship with her friends, and how everyone sees her as a source of happiness and joy (the вЂњbottlesвЂќ) and has come to expect that from her, even though Sayori actually suffers from depression. Something.Д«ut all I hear is echo, echo, echo, echo, echo They were supposed to be for my friends, my friends who arenвЂ™t smiling. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts in shards, all over the floor. Holding them out to each and every friend.Д«ut every time I let one go, it shatters against the tile between my feet. I frantically pull them from the shelf, one after the other. My friends look through my locked front door.ДЇinally, all done. Like exploring a dark cave, discovering the secrets hiding in the nooks and crannies. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts in bottles, all in a row. I reach inside with my thumb and forefinger and pluck one out.Д«ut thereвЂ™s no time to waste! I put it in a bottle to keep it safe.ДЄnd I put the bottle on the shelf with all of the other bottles. Little balls of sunshine, all rubbing together like a bundle of kittens. ItвЂ™s the secret place where I keep all my dreams. I pop off my scalp like the lid of a cookie jar. The sunshine in this poem can potentially refer to the protagonist, as her love for him is what keeps her alive/awake. It makes references to her depression and how she doesnвЂ™t want to wake up, except for when the sunshine comes. If it wasnвЂ™t for you, I could sleep forever.ДЄs Sayori admits in game, she wrote this poem in the morning before school. Kissing my forehead to help me out of bed.ДЄre you trusting me to wish away a rainy day? The way you glow through my blinds in the morning Sayori The childhood friend turned romantic interest In the end, these are just my opinions so I hope youвЂ™ll reply with your own thoughts! Note: Some poems are definitely more straightforward than others, and many of the poems have multiple interpretations. But letвЂ™s be honest, if youвЂ™ve read this far (past my вЂњpoetry simulatorвЂќ intro) you already know all this, so letвЂ™s get to the poems! The protagonist is asked to pick twenty words that make up a вЂњpoem,вЂќ and depending on the words picked, Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri will have different reactions on the next day and show you different poems. In DDLC, the main gameplay element is a poetry game that you play several times throughout the game. In this post, I will list all of the poems in the story and do my best to explain any meanings they may have. Since Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC) was released by Team Salvato in September 2017, itвЂ™s taken the world by storm as a top-notch visual novel crossed with a poetry simulator.
