Just Bitter...

Just sit there, be bitter

Just sit there, a quitter

You always were the black sheep of your litter

So just sit with your stale face

With your mind in the mud

Live life at your snail pace

Hollow eyes like a drug

I can't stand it

I can't take it

Get me out of this room

I won't make it

If you can't shake it

Your terrible, and dark, bitter gloom

 

So sit there so bitter

Just lie down, you quitter

One day the tables will turn

I'll be back again

To show you, my friend

Just how awfully bad that it burned

So while I am gone

No matter how long

Be prepared to show what you learned

No matter the pain

When I'm back I'll have gained

All I want is to share what I earned

 

No matter what you say

Regardless what you do

The love will not die

Til my face has turned blue

My very first friend

Should be there til the end

Or they'll bury me before I am through....

This is one of the only poems I have ever written that I can't read without almost coming to tears....
