trying to make a rhyme in time
before my feeling lock me out
trying to find the time to write it down
when I really just want to drown it out
I try,
I know men don't cry,
but little boys do
I have a bit of both I guess
but guess what one I use
thighs that remind me
of a drunk man drawing
on a scratchboard
with a knife
strifes break out between parts of my mind
tearing me apart from the inside
now,
what pride?
I'm whats left
if you take away all the right
and leave all the wrong
I'm the awkward hello
and the silent goodbye
did you hear me whisper
oh wait
no one heard
or maybe no one cared
I'm not ready
but I am prepared
I don't belong here
goodbye
