Poems
Mar 2014
Days of the weak
I drove to the bank yesterday
I drove to fill my gas tank,Easter day
my dad went fishing with his friend today
and why shouldn't they?
leave me in the house
its no problem
i'll just sit and stare at the walls
take my brother too so there's no one to play
don't bother stocking up the fridge
forget about the electricity bill
mom's on the other side of the bridge
working for us
earning for us
just like dad
the clouds are crying like me
their tears falling on the roof
like marbles on the floors
the TV isn't working
neighbors are off skiing in Aspen
and i'm stuck at home
why can't I go fishing?
no room for me?
when will I go to Aspen?
when everybody will be going for vacations to Antartica?
this life's no life
trapped in the house,no phone
shoes muddy
hair curled up
breath smelling like socks
the day is over
but my complaints aren't
mom and dad are home
relaxing in front of the TV
Is EVERYTHING fine now?
Can I stop complaining now?
and MAY I go to sleep now?
Because i'm tired of complaining
now.
