Struggles of a Wretch

My mind is shattered

 

Green glass bottles lining a city curb

 

My body is scarred

 

Battle wounds from an inner war

 

I am awkward and shy

 

Mouths go mute and sound becomes silence

 

I am weird and uneducated

 

Care about myself like pigs care about wings

 

I choose emptiness and haze

 

Love is a fantasy, let the tab dissolve

 

I choose lies and incomplete thoughts

 

As interesting as a white wall

 

But I want you

 

Poetic mottos, background story, fluttering ideas

 

But I can’t have you

 

Age, timing, hopelessness, broken, sinner.
