20/M/The Northeast A mix of arrhythmic song lyrics, silly poems for children, and some personal reflections
She had a wave tattooed on her ribs Which is apt For her body was a riptide That lead straight to her whirlpool heart She had the sun tattooed on her thigh Which is apt For she was my sunshine Every day was a new moon night when we were apart She had a lyre tattooed on her shoulder Which is apt For she was my muse And she always kept me in the dark

Tattoos (Realization)
In my front yard there’s a tree That’s just the same age as me The tree is much taller But I am much wiser Because a tree cannot think, you see

The Tree
I had never known What I do not know And I do not know What I had never known Is not something I know I know I know I do not know And I know the unknown I do not know I know Y'no?

Knowledge
Why do clocks only toll on the hour When I have to wake up at 7:15? The train meets the station at 8:33 But the clock will not chime until 9 That's 27 minutes of anticipation For what? It's sad, I find That the clock only tolls But once on the hour And my appointment isn't 'till The half

Clocks Are a Funny Thing
The bard feels all sung out As the world around him sleeps He is the only one left In the right sense of mind Who doesn't feel strung out So he sets to write a merry tune 'pon his lute so fine For come the morning When the people awake An old tune just won't shine He tries and tries Till the **** does crow But sadly sunrise comes The women start to knead their dough To cook their breakfast buns And the poor old Bard In this moment did find Of songs he wrote not a single one And he now is out of time

The Bard
The last thing on my mind Would be The last thing on my mind I think about what that will be But only time to time For I find that when the Day is done When the children count sheep And the race is run When King Sun goes to sleep And Queen Moon presides Asleep in bed With my love At my side That is when I hope I will die

Thoughts on My Final Thoughts
The grass is always greener When the sun and moon share time And if you wish to change demeanor You'll learn this truth, I find For I have rode the albatross And dove deep into the sea I have climbed with Sisyphus And Hades set me free

Freedom
Can evil be measured By mideeds themselves? Or is it by how one acts When under attack Whether they stood strong or fell? Because I tend to fall I do not stand tall When pressure comes to face me I crumble and cry Now with tears in my eyes I ask you, am I evil? I lash out when I'm mad Try to fight when I'm sad And I lose myself in the bottle I take drugs if I can find them And refuse to sing divine hymns A heretic, a drunk, but evil? I hate who I am And I hate what I do Does that qualify as repentant? But I'll just do the same thing Feel the same sting For self destruction is truly my penchant

The Units of Evil
I look Death in the face every day. He sits upon my shoulder and I can see him in the mirror. He no longer frightens me though, I have grown used to his presence. As he whispers in my ear I recall a time it would scare me, however now it illicits comfort. Nothing can be permanent, not even life. Not anger, not sadness, nor joy, nor fright. None of that matters no one cares, in the end. So now I tend to consider Death as a friend Yes things are stressful, yes i get bored, but my friend Death reminds me; everyone's life is a chore

My Friend Death
Do you see the three there? That points to those two? That point to that one? There's another to the right, and another further down which points to one and then another, and then another, then a little down there's three. Those three there, do you see the three there?
