Lift me out
Of mundane fog,
Piercing swollen sinuses
And sparking tepid heart.

Dry the mud inside my eye
And make my world pristine,
Caffeine.

Waking to a lazy swamp
I'm reaching for my buttress drug
To stir in me a robust cup
That steams and runneth over,

Up!

I mean to match the rising sun
That grew the plant and brew of bean
That feeds the hands that worked the field
That makes my world pristine,
Caffeine.

The man demands the hour hand
With countenance too mean
I could not make it through these days
Without my love, caffeine.
Sometimes Starr Apr 2019
Billowing, billowing, billowing
Sipping wine and blood-siphoning nether
Don't you think I know what I could be?
To empty halls, to empty rooms
This is a declaration of insanity

I don't know what the best option is--
A frantic schizophrenic,
A gulp of wine and silent frenzy
Good poetry comes from serene oases of mind,
Mine is loud, loud and careening inside.

You don't get paid if you call in sick.
Don't complain about it.
You're the one wasting everyone's time!
Sometimes Starr Oct 2019
the last hit lingers

at night i wonder about wandering constellations
how they move so slowly about the sky
and how it feels when they make love

i'm underneath it all,
above it all,
and she's on top of me
and we're rolling around
in this holy bed
and it feels amazing

out here,
under the stars

and the last hit resonates on my mind,
'cause she was so sweet
but i just didn't have the time.
the fish died TWICE. it's a done deal. the first time it was ME, this time it was you.
Sometimes Starr Jun 2023
There's nothing you can do to make it right
All we ever could afford is a bleeding dream
And my mind is in abyssal depths tonight
With all the helpless light to keep me company

We're lost forever,
Secret death
You said we won
But I'm seeing red

Cause no one's gonna hear me when I'm screaming for an answer,
And I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea

Captain, you're insane
You've got a look in your eye
You've got a deathwish in your
Broken mind
You've got a world to unexplain

*******, lonely God
And with a hopeless nod
You're gonna write it off
So just **** your pride
And deconstruct your brain

I'm in a world of pain

Captain, you're insane.

There's nothing we can do to save you now
When you're petrified, you're a sinking stone
And I don't even know if it floats
Cause all these lonely boats are just sinking slow

Between the stars and into nothing
Emptiness is coming
Loosening the skin from my bones

Captain, you're insane
You've got a look in your eye
You've got a deathwish in your
Broken mind
You've got a world to unexplain

*******, lonely God
And with a hopeless nod
You're gonna write it off
So just **** your pride
And deconstruct your brain

I'm in a world of pain

Captain, you're insane.

Fever's setting in
I'm alone for all of time
Head is jutting out
Without a plan or a lifeline

Vessel of the world,
Navigation was a lie!
What am I to do
Without a plan for a lifeline?

I guess that I'll just wait around
And die

Captain, you're insane
You've got a look in your eye
You've got a deathwish in your
Broken mind
You've got a world to unexplain

*******, lonely God
And with a hopeless nod
You're gonna write it off
So just **** your pride
And deconstruct your brain

I'm in a world of pain

Captain, you're in

Captain, you're insane
You've got a look in your eye
You've got a demon in your
Open mind
You've got a world to unexplain

*******, lonely God
And with a hopeless nod
You're gonna write it off
So just **** your pride
And deconstruct your brain

I'm in a world of shame

Captain, you're insane.
Sometimes Starr May 2024
I guess we must not be capable
Of all that much,
Please understand when I express my greatest fears
When I am the center and the center makes the horizon
How would I be characterized?

As a thing that could do everything and anything,
Or a thing that can do nothing?

And how about that everything?
If I accomplished some things through external bodies,
Would you let me take the credit?
When you've expressed that you know I have a jealous heart.
Do I want to take credit for those things?
Not everything.

I guess we must not be capable of all that much,
Why am I characterized as the guy who gave up?
And why aren't I motivated to seek employment?
When I know the crushing weight of our judgments.

I know what I am
I do not make much sense
I am the only thing that makes sense
But it doesn't make it to me all the time

I guess we must not be capable of all that much.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2019
Early one morning I woke up ready to go
Threw on my work uniform and dissolved the moon into my tea
Went out back, smoked burned some herb under the cloak of early morning

I feel the hard monster pushing on my back bones
Like the cardboard baler at work
Trying to normalize my life
The sunlight trying to keep itself simple,
Simplification crushing,
Business monster with roots in all the buildings
With roots in our nature,
Please let me out.
Sometimes Starr Feb 2019
As a service to the body
How convenient is the harmony
How delightful it is to survive
And get fat together

A crooked piece went rect today
When a video hit me with a wave
That loneliness was born to save the self.

No quest to save the species
Written in our DNA
How dumb I felt to realize that
It's just a happy mistake

One that fell into my lap--
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap
I can afford to love
And that
Is that
This is a weird poem
Sometimes Starr Dec 2018
The cathedral bricks evolved
Now they glow up our faces
The clergy and the ruling class
And those in
lower places
Sometimes Starr Oct 2024
I have no legacy,
I have fussing and stretched and torn thanks

I have ducking my head while you beat your chest
Or fear of your razor sharp humility
While trying to hide my own
Which has been muttering ungrateful evils in that quarantined hut

I have no legacy,
You let me speak
And when I take my turn
The words are like dripping sewage
And the next one is a fine and practiced angel

Who worked their whole life just to accomplish some great thing.
Sometimes Starr Aug 2024
I believe he is so happy,
Smiling all the time
Look what I have done

I believe that she is love,
But maybe yesterday is where
We fit together best.

I know he is so happy
I can look away from pain
I can skirt around the hatred
I can live another day

I do not speak of desolation
I have no shame
I don't defile
I will not be forced by fate to hurt another--
That's a bit of a stretch.

I live in heaven.

(Run the numbers)
Sometimes Starr Mar 2022
here they come
like a phantom leak
as if they could be wrong.

two slender fangs of love
behaved, and wielding truth

wipe clean the ****** slate
drag the curtain 'cross the sky
turn my vision black and say,
"i have loved you
for too long."

i would call you savior
if that was what you were,
but my savior watches on
keeping dominion over you.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2024
Computer gods walk all over me
My crooked dice yield ferrous sulfate
Just as soon as I feel you cursing my name, you embrace
But I feel confused now and I don't know you anymore

Nobody thinks they're Jesus here
Options sink to the bottom of the ocean
People sing songs they were always going to sing
I **** on the sour stone of jealousy and offer dim-witted approval

I am the one straddling it
There is nothing we can do
Sometimes Starr Jun 2019
I'm in a chemical bath,
A swell of activity
Where science touches itself dotingly
Beneath where it peels off skin obsessively

Drink, drink the water
You *******
Stop and smell the roses
Take a minute to whine about your life
And let the sound come back to your ears,
And tell me what you taste--
Tell me what you hear.
Sometimes Starr Oct 2018
Remember July,
Whose ruby red days brought you like swirling paint into my life?

Remember the park,
And the tacos I made and not being able to say a word?

I remember my gray,
Cold and vast beneath my skin
And finding love in tryina swim.

I remember how your kiss lit up my cheeks,
Lit a fire beneath my eyes!

Remember our trip?
We carried everything on our backs,
The tent, the rent, the tailing past
And now our tails are making out,
Now you stay over my parent's house

I remember that day.
I remember it like yesterday,
You were so cute
Like a little messenger
Announcing the end of worry
With cherry lips for my manhood.
Cherry on top
Child, I am so scared of you
Cherubic though you are
It's cherubs who hold power
And regard in heaven's mind

Their ripples disregarded
As infants' silly games
But could they be like butterflies
Who brewed up storms of shame?

But still eternal walls shine on
Within their painted cheeks
The fortresses of youth and joy
That Hilbert's dragon seeks!

The only reason that they are
Compounds itself in them
And that they are regards itself
Until we come undone

Your hair grows so aggressively
Your teeth are coming in
Child, I am so scared of you
And for you, and for kin


Lay down your head
And dream sweet dreams,
Give yourself tifereth

I love you so deeply
Not impossibly
Dream yourself something good.

.
I wrote this from another's point of view about myself
Sometimes Starr May 2017
Summer sun children shriek back and forth
Feet flying over, over back porch
Tussle up grass, chasing the back
Of a summer sun child,
Swing water guns.

Sling water fun! Trample a *****.
Onto the sidewalk, two lovers of candy
Who can't yet suppose
A thorn from a rose
If you read them this poem,
They wouldn't come close.

Baptism don't save, it's a glorious thing
A plane is the bane far away from a spring
I'd alter that range, if I could I would bring
Everything, and everything!

Summer sun children shriek back and forth
Feet flying over, the kings of the Earth
You think you know love, and you think you know worth
But a summer sun child
Thinks less and knows more.
Sometimes Starr Jan 2018
Born under the array, we must have supposed ourselves computers
Esoteric notions of Illuminism made their way, even
Into the minds of the ignorant
By way of osmosis.

The roar of society's innards amplified,
An image of human digestion made confusing half-art
In the naked sky.

This folded into neat, convenient little quanta
But the world could not hide the ugly truth:
The climate was one of dissonance, and insanity
And clinging for its couth.

Although, just like in the old symphonies--
Moments of sweetest major harmony swell up
And we find islands of peace.

From whence, I wonder, do we build a better world?

Born on the grid. Born with new potential.
Born to deeper illusions, deeper lies.
Born of a *****.

Human rivers clamber over each other
The needs and the circumstances threaten cataclysm
And readier cataclysm breeds an ultraviolet paranoia, this time.

We are the children of the new millenium.
We are lost, we are scoffed at, we are confused.
We are disbelievers, we are disoriented, we are ...true.
We are petty, we are extra, we are amused and not amused.
Change the world, slap a sticker, make it new.
Sometimes Starr Apr 2019
Let life rock the **** out
Then you can
Sometimes Starr Sep 2024
I said come on
I'm getting old
I have a long list of things that I'd like to do

And I never want to hurt you baby girl
You look so out of this world when I look at you
Sometimes Starr Dec 2017
I flew well-designed eyes over the glowing Earth
It felt like the mad suspense of a psychedelic trip,
Like the buildings were about to lift off into space.

(Or maybe come crashing to the ground)

I knew I was born
In a time of great change.

In my youth I wondered
If I'd ever be great.

It seemed easy enough,
But what got in my way?

I was a minor genius with major anxiety
I believe that I hold nascent wonders inside of me
Tonight. Is there anything left
Remaining of me?

What have I done? What can you see?

I swing my leg over
And get on my bike.

I ride to the bus stop
Unborn work in my eyes.

I hope that you love me
Hope when I try
To give meaning to life
That you'll find it worthwhile.

And where are you now? You dimension in time!
Along the same thread of the Nothing Divine
In any direction just distance will find
Us romancing again, revolution no. 9
Sometimes Starr Mar 2019
How can these arms hold your innocent body so tight
With the maelstrom roaring in my failing heart,
With ugly worms sprouting from my skin
And no love to atone for such awful ventures into these ****** places?

A crest, oh
What a lovely view from here
But in my periphery I can see a demon seething
It comes to break the wave down
And tell me it is me.
Sometimes Starr Jan 2022
you'll be the last thing i abandon,
and i can't stand the thought of it.

(chord)

(chord)

when sun rays charge the sky with color,
not with hate and sin,

i thought that i had better let you know i love you

while i still have the chance to say i love you.

(chord) (enter drums + band)

i mean it *****-- it does, it does!
i wish that i had traveled light
but one day you'll remind me how
we always travel light

never said that i was perfect,
we don't always win the fight
i mean it *****. (it does! it does!)
it ***** to say goodbye.

to say goodbye.

(instrumental)

you'll be the last thing i let go of
and it breaks me to be broken
didn't realize this was math class
would've paid more ... attention

i expressed the need for loss
when i experienced detention

i didn't want to let you go
i should have paid you more attention.

(drop)

it feels like choking on love to love
it feels like choking on love to be loved
it feels like being in love to love
this feels like being in love!

it feels like choking on life to live
it feels like wasting the thing that you give
all my confessions are endless
it feels like being in love...

x2

you'll be the first thing i remember
when i wake up in the morning
but i'll suffer something awful
when i wake up (pause)
and you're mourning (pause)

we could live out the impossible,
but words contain a warning:
there's a snake inside your garden,
my medulla reassures me.


it feels like choking on love to love
it feels like choking on love to be loved
it feels like being in love to love
this feels like being in love!

it feels like choking on life to live
it feels like wasting the thing that you give
all my confessions are endless
it feels like being in love...

(retardando, repeat)

THIS FEELS LIKE BEING IN...

LOVE (emphatic, rapid strumming to end)

(one last strum)
this song is written for The Front Bottoms!!
Sometimes Starr Mar 2021
My soul he sits in cementcell
Playing action figures with broken gods
He stoke at a coals gone cold long ago
Why, he do not know
Sometimes Starr Mar 2019
I dripped colorful spots on the way to my death
They are my blood
Warped and wild
Dried and brown
Pink and green and blue and ultraviolet,
Infrared.

You can't read them like a book
They are not crystallized or processed
They're the dribblings of death escaping from my neurotic dream
They're things felt and considered, suffered and enjoyed
Only ever belonging to me,
And even then--
Just something I see.
Sometimes Starr Apr 2018
Black and red roses fell from the sky
The sky was blonde
Your body was green.

You were a forest,
No, you were an entire wilderness
Laying before me nature's refreshing,
Unapologetic love
Refusing to cottle,
Wary of domestication
Open and blue
As your eyes and your words

Inviting to an explorer
But dangerous to a wanderer

All tan and green was my roughly hewn shelter on your beach
With the sun, and the waves, and the breeze

But the fledgling thing was no match for the winds
The winds that come every now and then
They swept my angry curses away and killed them on the sea

Because woman--
You've made a fool out of me.

The winds change and up the ridge was another man
Who found intimacy in your vibrant weather, your thunderstorms, his vista, your hot summer days, his journey through the woods

And you were **** in your black bikini.

I'm dashed to bits on the reef
Throwing a stupid looking hat at the ground
Looking very much like a lost tourist
But you can see the look wearing off
Peeling away like my sunburn,
(Yours truly)
There is a man underneath.
Sometimes Starr Oct 2017
i am waiting for my piece of heaven to download
i'm getting ****** because the internet is slow
the modem is mocking the whiny noises in my throat

i am an attempt to stay composed.

i feel gravely important
and foolish when i remember i'm not
distortions. can't be another victim of rot.

i pause as if balanced on a fulcrum
is it me who has you wrong?
or am i held from momentum
by a universe, flawed

but the spiral inside me unwinds,
and i'm back to my nature
back to that taut feeling of urgency
back to blood filling its office seats inside my body
giving color to my cheeks,
giving me that certain shape

will i die suddenly, lopped up by the sickle
of a passing car?

will i fade away, never having quite reached
the peak i have claimed i could reach?

or will i get there, seize the day for my own
and throw myself at death
a complete and happy man?
Sometimes Starr Dec 2021
On the eve of my commitment,
I stammered.
The sky caved in
But resolve stayed blue.

My shifting feet held perfect stance
With heaven howling at my dance
Until it took me in its maw,
My name was Matthew Michael Shaw.

I told you how I loved you dear,
My fractured darling, ear to ear
I swam into your broken heart
Was it I who broke you,
Tasting art?
Sometimes Starr Apr 2019
Just like roses grow red and full from what is decomposed,
Our affectionate symbol of arbitrary love--
I am washed up on the shores of completion
The waves lap sweetly at my finished existence

After writing a song
You sit and stare at the wall
Like wow, did I really just do that?
After giving your large hands to a kind wind
That blows some other ship to port

And some are crashed in a storm
And others are stranded far away...

The sweetness that's known brings us full to a clothes,
When ships full of roses arrive unopposed.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2024
We hate a man for all things he's wrought,
But never stop to think could he be imprisoned
With all his choices laid out for him?

Okay, but we still have to deal with him.

We hate a woman because, essentially
She is the death trap creep we're stuck inside
Unmanageable and at times allowing no good answer
Wielding impossible powers over us?

Okay, but she's still abundance.
Sometimes Starr Jul 2019
I let my eyes float around my skull
Like eggs in a noodle soup.

I don't know where to put it
I'm so basic
I see other people in charge
They know what they're doing
Sometimes I probably seem that way too

But I've always straddled that border
I don't want to anymore
I want to be in charge,
I want to beat a drum.
Sometimes Starr Feb 2022
You figured it out!

You don't want to enjoy it.

Because it feels wrong
That it should all be for me.

I like your style,

Go ahead and argue.

But you know that it's true.

Just give me something to do.

And I'm just glad to be alive with you.
Just a supposition about consciousness
Sometimes Starr May 2017
Lies have them to sustain
Only brief breath from life.
The pain of lies exists to us, only apparently
Like centrifugal force.

A father swings his young son around Him on the beach.
To the son, it seems that a force is acting on him,
A force opposite his father's tethering arms.

But in Reality, his Inertia is only carrying all his Velocity,
and that Father will never truly let
him go.

So, it can be Said
that pain
is a lie.
i watched a vsauce video, Spinning
and i was thinking about it in a different way
Sometimes Starr Jun 2017
i'm looking for an element called "best love"
so i'm looking for a circle,
i'm looking for a crystal
i'm looking for
anything considered
for long enough. . .
Sometimes Starr Jun 2016
an invaluable treasure having known you.

your voice echoes through the dark, tall halls
of my home.

your smile hangs soft upon my closed eye
it is a musical number unfit for any instrument
but your face

your face! i will miss your sweet, sweet face

and how you said

GOODMORNING SUNSHINE!! and hugged me

"Were you trying to break my heart!?"

I've been thinking about all the ins and outs of life!
Andra Day sings, "Only Love can break your heart"
And for a moment I wished to fall out of love,
Forever, because it hurts too much to lose.

But it was never lost, and I was wrong
I would love for my heart to be broken...
So I can love like you.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2018
Constance wants to be my lover
But every time I see her, shun her
She pines for me behind the curtains;
I try my best just to forget her.

She loves the birthmark that I hate
She loves when I reply too late
She tries to slip her hand between us
Although she can't, she needs to feel us.

And will she wither to a mist?
I will not take her sour kiss.
A man should keep his healthy distance
From such a foul wraith, such as Constance.

And if I can for long enough,
I think she'd go away.

But in my darkness I have left you,
Seeking anything but refuge.
To meet my Constance on some corner
Where we would turn from you together.

And less a conscious twist of muscle,
More a weight that pulls a buoy
Underwater for a time
Would bring me into Constance's bed

And like a buoy overturned
So did direction from my head
With eyes rolled back,
To sleep instead.

And if I turned for long enough,
We'd soon elope to dread.

I should not give her my attention,
But still resides an awkward tension
It's something better left unmentioned,
The time I've spent with Constance.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2019
Let's get illumination curves.

I don't wanna bear witness to this whole scene
Without a taste of the real thing.

I fell asleep in the wasted west
The sun welled up in its present and disparate springs
And revealed a current form.

I'm at the finger-twisting river's middle
Never mind the sweat on my brow
As I fret that I do nothing but roughly contemplate some path of action
Waiting to strike out, how?

Never mind that now,
Gotta find a way,
A better way out.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2022
She was not content to sit in silence,
Or else forced to hallucinate.

She found a lens inside her socket
Fell through, and became null.

But all her flailing arms did kiss,
And strike her down,
Or nearly missed

Gnawing, pulling, scraping
For their utter composition.

The collapsing heavens gave their sign
Her family, and house divine
Then her dream went glassy smooth,
And motion proved... impossible.

She ate herself between the stars,
Who watched, and never said a word
Remember when we found him first?
Our little, iridescent bird

I think the moon must know the future.
I guess my death must know me well.
I didn't think we were like that--
It all just seemed too oddly specific.
Hanging loose, half-possessed
Hair hanging down across the shoulder of your mind.

Her feet scuffing up the sun-dried dirt
Her converse, making little clouds of dust

"I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow"
And you felt it,
Her body as a phantom limb of yours
But you don't remember hers
She's a tracer
Never anything more
And every time
But wait what does that make you

...

The sun blasts its yellow promise through the evening trees
Green and gold
The sleeves of her hoodie
How can I feel her gripping them?
It's too warm for it now
But soon it will be colder.

The hoodie is black,
Or purple

It's definitely supposed to rain tomorrow.
"I don't care,"
I said,
Halfway through.

"Yes, you do,"
You corrected me,
"And that is why you don't care."

And you sighed,
And turned me around.

And it helped but it didn't help
And I was alone but I was not
And everything was confusing but you didn't write that,
I did,
And we turned into our own shadow again.

I am so sorry.

God...

I am just so sorry it went like this for you.

I am SO SORRY it had to be like this
You don't deserve that,
No one.

Alright, let's forget it ever happened
Sometimes Starr Sep 2017
My queen standeth over me,
"I WILL END YOUR LIFE!"
Somewhere inside my reflection
Somewhere deep in my imagination.

A sword to my neck,
She is dressed in adamant and diamonds.

Do you see her?
Her eyes gleam like molten metal when she says it.
She says it always, only sometimes I see different colors.
And sometimes I'm not thinking about it at all.

So severe, she leaves me stranded on an island.
And inside that island, I contemplate the design
Of my dire consequence.

The shapes and the music I make must call for their own elimination.

Only I am here singing right now
Forced, and justified on all sides
Or one side? Or none.
So each symbol I trace in the Sand is full and sacred
Sometimes Starr Apr 2024
Drawn to or repelled
All the same I feel you

And nobody is wrong for how they feel

Still you might not enjoy every feeling of another,
Who may not agree with sentiments
Which now are all too real.

Is the problem that I feel it?
But no, feeling is the reason!
Should I attempt to conceal it?
There's no hiding from the truth!
So much imbued within each moment,
That I forfeit all description.
You ramble on,
Complicit in your convoluted feud
How gross and clunky are those last two words lol!?!?!?
Sometimes Starr Nov 2019
that's a pretty little thing that you've got right there,
that's a pretty little thing, would you care to share?
would you care? would you care?
Sometimes Starr Jan 2019
Cold
With a ring of warmth
Tell you the truth
I don't even care
Gotta be strong
It won't even hurt
If I don't even care
That's the way these things go
It never ends well.
Sometimes Starr Aug 2016
the hearth that plays upon
gold-trimmed porcelain
like a grand *****

the room that pulls your steps forward
and makes your eyes glowing

held up by a chemical dream
woven of nothing
so sweetly kissed by nothing on all sides

i am the death god
i am the room held up by dreaming
that hosts the phallus and the womb

a fixed stare
a lovely dare
a poetic doom
Sometimes Starr May 2017
she's all foxed up,
but me i'm an empty mess.

in one of my favorite songs by fall out boy
she's a little black dress.

the party is happening elsewhere,
i know i might sound whiny but come on
i don't mean to be rude, or mean
but i have to deal with my old, conservative parents
who have such redeeming values but are so boring
okay not my mom but her emotions run her life WAIT!

OK, WAIT! I am doing it again.
I'm allowing myself to be this thing
Let me show you how this happens in motion,
I give up on it,

Let me show you how I'm king.

And I ******* will, Will
I remember you cheating on me with Will!
The party's happening elsewhere, where you are,
my ex-girlfriend, who told me I was paranoid
who said I needed help but she was cheating on me! GASP
What a terrible thing, what a terrible ******* thing

To have gotten so mad about. Cause nothing, NOTHING NOW
Is going to get in my way. Pure white empathy rings in my synapses,
It will snap into action and find what it's looking for
A culture of volunteers, out there in the world.
Witty fingers clip away at awkwardness, form a truly impressive
set of musical skills. My linguistic mind is roving,
Singing some mysterious song in the universe, the meaning of which
I don't even know! She's all foxed up
And look, some handsome ******* devil in the mirror,
I think I know him.

I think we'll have
To schedule a rendesvous
Sometimes Starr Jan 2022
Everyday i get up,
Do one hundred sit ups,
And set up my fake soup kitchen
It's made of cardboard boxes
And construction paper

I even set the timer
And act like i am driving
And when i arrive, they're glowing just to see me

I don't want to get sick
Or play into this fake scene,
It should mean the same thing to you,
Girl, you're such a liar!

Cause none of this is real
We're all just gonna die here
If it doesn't mean the same thing to you,
Girl, you're full of ****.
Sometimes Starr Sep 2019
maybe what hurts the most is that you can't blame anyone when they recede--
the typical, "look, i don't know, but it's got nothing to do with me!"

i have friends encouraging me but i don't know if they realize what they're supporting
now this is my time to crave dissipation.

I wave my hand in the ***** sink water,
It's bad poetry.

I spew absurdities and give half gifts
Awkward to receive a half-stitched pair of pants or a bunch of flowers with all the wild parts, no cup or vase or plastic, bows

I let my mind leak and spill
It's not popular, it's lazy
And i'm in my own little world

He took it upon himself
To die,
Of natural causes
Is just semantics
When you're the head
Of nature Itself

A cascading persona
A collapsing blossom
But you can't prove it
Sometimes Starr Jan 2024
My poetry feels dull and lifeless

I cant write better than my own death
How do I compete?
