she's tired
I saw here cry today
she cried on the phone over nothing

she's exhausted
her skin is pale
her face is gaunt

she's wilting
the makeup dripped down her face
tears pulling the fragments of black goop mascara down her face

Sometimes I look at the veins
Sprawling through my arm
And down my wrist
I wonder how you
Got in there and
I wonder if
That's why
They're
Blue

Resign to me, give in.

let me live in the shakes of your
body
let me revel
in the trembles of
pupils dilating
fingers grasping

make eye contact

shiver deeply beneath me
gasp

let me
in

The star in my
Hand is falling

All the uniforms know what's no use

May I bow to Necessity not
To her hirelings

FOREVER ALONE

I'm okay sitting alone,
'cause I have to be,
not because I like it,
just because I can't change it.
Everyone are here when they need me,
but where are they when I need them?
Screaming and yelling,
yet no one hears me.
Alone through the day,
alone through the night,
I really hate this alone life.
The only one I can trust,
and I know it won't betray me,
is my beautiful cat,
that doesn't leave me for a rat.
I'm a friend to everyone,
but no one is a friend of mine,
it's killing me,that
I'm forever alone in this life fight.
I really hate this fu*ked,boring,forever alone life!

The Ride Of Your Life

It begins as you are just a child
As you wait each year to grow
You watch as others go there first
Then you reach your stepping stone

They say there's rules to this ride
And try to lock you in your place
You begin your uphill journey
With a smile upon your face

You go slowly up a long steep hill
As you enjoy the scenic view
Then you rest a moment at the top
As time stands still for you

You crest the hill and begin to fall
Heart beating in your chest
The bottom comes so very fast
But your rides not over yet

You hit that curve you dont expect
And you hang on for your life
It throws you through a loopty loop
Then it rights you just in time

A few more hills and one last turn
Then a slow unwanted stop
You're happy that you took life's ride
But Lifes ride's not long enough


Carl Joseph Roberts
The story of life with many ups and downs.
At times it throws you curves and send you spinning.
In the end like any good ride, im guessing,  you're going to want to do it all again.
Enjoy lifes ride you only get one.
