how to describe out of control
by using an elephant in a barrel roll,
how to use colour to
explain black and white,
if there is a success story
this is not it, don't worry,
speaks well when he can
be heard, knows how to
use words, to inflict himself
upon others, thank goodness
he only has one brother,
likes fall more than spring
notes fall flat when he sings,
(if this were a real critique
this ain't going too well)
walks with a limp too fast,
hangs on to the past
by a thread,
hears sounds
at night that drive him
from bed, probably all in his
head...sigh...
that is just a snap shot of the
toxic wasteland some go through,
negative self talk will *****
with perception,
make one lose direction,
you want doubt, this way
to the insurrection,
life ends too fast,
it can be gone in an instant
gone in a flash,
be a dreamer no matter how big,
trick is, how to take the little steps,
to reach each one, (feel that... can't
even say the words,* success and joy*,)
by setting out to
do what I intended to
haiku this review
scored a five point five
out of ten, in this life,
if age and numbers matter.
