Dandelions, arugula and kale
It all goes straight to my tail
I scurry around across the ground
Always wearing my thorny crown
Never in the scene but rich with green
High on the scales but oh so keen
I'm usually stuck in a state of nirvana
Just don't get my name wrong call me Iguana
There's a
Page torn
From my
Notebook
...
Did it fly
As a
Paper plane?
Was it crumpled
To be
Thrown away?
Was it
Painted on?
A
Masterpiece
Made?
Possibly
Just
Possibly
It was used
To write
These very
Words I lay
Monsters under my bed
I know they're there
But never dare I look
Until tonight
The truth isn't
Easy to face
When I'm staring
Into my own
I'm tired of being sad
I'm sick from all the pain
I know I have it better
Than most people
Around the world
So why must I cry
The same cry
As millions before me
Maybe I just need a hug
From another beating heart
While whispering in my ear
The cliché words
"Everything will be ok"
A tear


Drops
And hits the page
While I sit here writing
In a horrible rage
The thought of a loss
Some call my lover
I can't call her that
She is everything other
I call out
There is no answer
I'm s l o w l y being suffocated
By an emotional cancer
God!
Where are you in all of this?
Do you ignore my cries
Because I'm not religious?
In life I try
But continue to cry
And sigh
As this love
continues to die
in my heart
I just wish
I could fly
High


In the blue sky
That some call heaven
In the meantime
I'll have to abide by
And fight through this strife
But God please reply
And acknowledge that
I'm not a bad guy
She shattered my reflection
Altering introspection
Inflection on deception
Injected the infection
Born purely from rejection
Craving all the affection
Could it be misconception?
Why must I learn this lesson?
I
