Every time I roll over
"Nothing to undo" it says
But everything is messed up
I just don't know, these days.

Pushing on even when it hurts
Letting go of the pain
That's what makes you more than those
Who just wait out the rain.

I am old, so much older now
And you think you can hurt me?
I am wise, so much wiser now
And I used to have so much mercy.

You write to share your feelings
So others will see them too
I write because I poem
And rhythm and rhyme, too.

~Close your heavy eyelids now
~~In rolling waves sink deep
~~~Away you go to sail the sea
~~~~And slowly go to Sleep.~~~~

"Broaden your horizons,"
Said the teacher to the student.
He said, "Fine, I'll do that,
I'll move to another planet."

This morning a song
Was stuck in my head
It stayed until
I went to bed.

You write of sadness all the time
No human feels this wretched!
Perhaps you wish you were pitied still
So pity is your method.

The thing about my mentality is
It isn't very real
Someday, I just hope I look
Just as cool as I feel.

Go the distance
   walk the mile
But don't forget
   to walk with style.

Chasing tails, erasing fails
The world is out to get you
What if this was just a risk
That you could really  live through?

I pull my leg up under myself
Far too often for my knee
It hurts today from yesterday
And it's really bothering me.

Among my my dreams
Strange and simple
I wish I could pop
A million pimples.
