(This is a poem I wrote with a friend. Her lines are capitalized.)
THREE-LEGGED CHAIR From start to finish Never diminish I ALWAYS TRY I GIVE MY PLENTIEST This I say Sometimes I follow thru That's me What about you? I DO WHAT I CAN IS THAT ENOUGH? SOMETIMES I WONDER THOUGHTS...YEAH THEY'RE TOUGH Don't forget to breathe It's an always And most underappreciated need When everything seems wrong Take time To take time To see the best The pure The beauty Of being good No one can be you But you WHEN TRYING ISN'T ENOUGH WHAT DO YOU DO? NOTHING IS GOOD ENOUGH SHOULDN'T THAT BE A CLUE? I SHOULD GET ONE YEAH I KNOW An ever attempt At bettering reality A step is a step An attempt at betterness To sate destruction Never let it listen To ******* Never give up Ever WE HAVEN'T WE WON'T WE CAN'T WE HAVE HOPE Don't be a dope Always and forever More than a chance Sometimes A dance With possibility Forever Reality LOOKING THRU THE WINDOW STARING AT THE TV ANYTHING I CAN TO ESCAPE REALITY I LIVE AND BREATHE I TRY MY BEST An attempt gives you strength Because it's more than the rest WORDS OF WISDOM WORDS OF TRUTH Actions See what is being said SOMETIMES IT'S THAT THAT HURTS EVERYONE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS But if you keep the hurt to yourself That's your fault SOMETIMES TRUTH HURTS THIS I KNOW I'M AN ADULT WE ALL HAVE ROOM TO GROW No matter how much We know Or have learned Stand up To be loved Or burned IT TAKES HEART TO HAVE THAT DONE IT TAKES TIME WE'RE ONLY ONE PERSON THAT IS WE'RE NOT THE SAME WE ALL FEEL DIFFERENT WE ALL HATE PAIN WE'RE ONLY HUMAN WE ALL BLEED THE SAME SOMETIMES LIFE ***** I WONDER WHERE'S THE GAIN? Humanity has survived Up to this point With or without a joint Keep trying Never lying Breathe it Live it NEVER A LIAR I KEEP MY WORD IT'S NEVER BOUNCY NOTHING LIKE A CHEESE CURD Yeah, nerd A bottle in a brown bag Never is an End Until this one How many times Saying Never again? YOU WISH THIS WAS THE ONE TO BE DONE IT'S FUNNY SO I'M NOT READY TO STOP THE CLOCK THIS POEM IS GOOD SON DON'T HATE APPRECIATE WE'RE SITTING HERE PLAYING A GAME Somebody won Somebody lost Hello and Goodbye Always lost
