They say to
write what you know
but I'm just so
sick of
tragedies
I know you mean well but you can't speak for me
forgive me if you'd writing seems like it's driven by apathy
I want to grow up but I can't right now
I have enough personal issues of my own to iron out
I'm still shy as all **** and insecure as ******* and bacon
I'm constantly on edge like a diet coke with mentos that's been shaken
But then that's my own cross to bear
having to fight things in my head that no one would know they're there.
And it seems when I make an effort no one gives a ****
So really, please don't speak on something you can't understand.
Like I said, I know you mean well and I appreciate your concern
but it's my mistakes and my life, I'll always have demons to burn
A polite way to tell someone to *******

I really kinda liked this girl....:

(?)

and we were lying naked on the

Bedroom rug

( and )

Well

I just got up

Wrapped a towel around myself

And went into the living room

Sat down on a couch

And started to meditate



She soon came out of the bedroom

Saw me

Gave a look of surprise

Went and got dressed

And left

--

She seemed a bit disgusted

But I felt okay

•••

A little over a year later I saw her again

She was with some beaming young man

And carrying a baby in her arms !



We both started looking at each other

With such immaculate affection

That the young man finally said

WERE YOU 2 LOVERS ?

••

Me and her looked puzzlingly at each other

And then started laughing

//

They then turned to leave

||

She graced me with one last look

Of supreme gratefulness

And was gone

who knew
that one simple word
'goodbye'
could burn cities?
cities, at least in my mind

for no one in particular

a hollowed wind rustles paper scraps
blowing ideas along beaten dirt paths
swaying words in vacant coves
moving ink across charcoal roads
syllables blossom over flowering hills
until they finally land on a note next to a bottle of pills
on a deep oak bedside stand
where you can find sleeping remedies clasped in a jittering left hand

and as he fall into darkness to meet his creator
the poet's process is recycled and will be passed along yet again
for his words will travel until they find another suitor
and as a hollow wind picks up in the night
paper scraps are rustled...
The depressed man's words will travel in cycles until they latch onto another host. I hope you've enjoyed.
A silence with you
Is not
a silence

But a moment rich
with peace
