Ugly Umbrella

Oh dear

oh darling me

how did I come to be

so completely

stuck

under this ridiculous umbrella

of ideas, plans and everything

the world throws

like bricks

and stones and sticks

that crack my bones

dissolve my morals

and break my heart

my

little

beating

heart

I can only scream so loud

and can only listen so close

but one of us is going to have to

try

harder

because I'm losing

all thoughts that strike a heart string

to my tears

my fears

and my storm is still too steady

for me

to

put

away

the

umbrella
