I write tidy little poems uncomplicated rhymes to paint for you a picture contained within its lines I have no time for flowery words or eloquent pretense I write poems people talk about over the garden fence I don't try to be too clever or try to be too flash Because making out your better just leads you to a clash Like "who the hell does he think he is speaking down like that to me Some others may like what he says but his words are not for me" And thats not what I'm all about I write to share a thought, a feeling, an emotion, hell I even write 'bout sport. I write so people know that in their thoughts they're not alone to arrest those night time monsters that in our minds have grown A trouble shared is a trouble halved or so they used to say but in our disconnected lives we don't communicate that way So instead of just sitting there haplessly afloat Do yourself a favour and read the stuff I wrote Some of it is happy and some of it is sad and some of it may just be like experiences you've had And once you find that piece read it, take it home and sleep a little better now knowing you are not alone.
