been there done that
sitting under a desk
closed in with no leg space
rusted chair wheels
that won't even roll
one wrong push I'll flip out
phone ringing call after call
I'm answering question
so simple to answer
almost time to punch out
clock it ticks yet haven't
moved an inch
intense waiting
thinking positive
I know it must be done
the daily results that's
what pays my bills
I thought I could walk away from writing by falling in love.
I have not touched a piece of paper in so long, I forgot how it felt between my fingers, and even what it smelled like.
Now my heart is hurting and I run to the paper. A lover that simply sat and waited on a desk, collecting dust.
I could be rejected from paper, but He opens up to me.
'I have missed you,' He says.
His perfect lines as straight as before I left.
'Ive been gone too long. May I.....?' I pull out my wooden ink pen.
The paper suddenly sticks to the desk.
'Of course. Always for you.'
I lightly touch the paper with the tip, and my mind is already flowing out the hurt and pain. All my feelings have pulsed through my bloodstream, into my fingertips and to the end point of the writing utensil.
My pen scratches, and I can already feel the two of us sighing, releasing against one another
I have been away for far too long

My pencil is dull
I've been writing too long
But I can't seem to stop

I'm addicted to words
And getting lost in my head
It's all seems easier that way

The worlds I create are fading
The plots I develop are lacking
All because my pencil is dull

And I can't find my sharpener
My desk is so cluttered.

Some nonsense if you can make any sense out of it let me know.  I know what it says anyway.

I hope to
have a soul,
 As open, and as
giving, as the trees.
The trees stand for man,
to take what we want, And
never ask, For anything in return.  
But, He, he was of olive family, his skin
was rough, but he didn't have to be soft. He
had a stretched grin from ear to ear, as if extra elastic was
put there, just to make you smile. He would write you the most
lovely songs he could create. And when he played them, It looked
like his soul was in the guitar besides in his hands, strumming
every note, to make it perfect, to reflect on his feelings for you. He'd take you home, and kisses you at your door, But you take him in, and lead him in to your room, And it is there that you sit on your
desk, and summon your olive beau, and then he would
show more love to you, because
that's all an Ash can do,
Love you
til you use
him up.
The girl
learned
this the
hard way,
and now
she only
has his
memory
in her
Veneer
Desk
and Ash
Guitar.
idk I always wanted to make a poem in a shape so I made a tree c:

There's a sharp pain in my side, driving me insane,
clicking my back all the time, ouch ouch ouch.
Message from him, a message from her,
they both love me you know, it's pretty awkward.
I have a box on my desk, it's brown and filled up,
nothing good to you maybe, but stuff I treasure a lot.
There's that drawing I did when sleep high,
"Sleep High" is what my friends like to call tired.
Might update another piece of writing today, not sure yet,
I can't believe I've been writing this since 2012.
The cat is so soft, I wanna just snuggle his fur,
I'm trying to think of a song to listen to, but I can't be bothered.

I never asked for this
But when does anybody get what he asks for
or knows what he wants
or what he is chosen for
I only see people
behaving like circus monkeys
not even trained tigers have that look
a tiger is a tiger till death
be careful
It is only your life at stake
too much tolerance breeds blandness
dust under the rug
chatter and gossip
vomited on the radio, the news
injecting fear and chocolate blood
without any risk
spreading only a rotten stench
as if joy meant showing your colgate smile
just like a giant billboard telling you to let go
of the fight
not to resist and become like Mikey Mouse
with four fingers and the grin of death
****** got more style
I’d rather listen to an angry *****
than any anchor woman
or any senator
than any businessman
or lecturer, teacher, parent
I’d rather be depressed
or with a pain in my stomach
like the one I felt when a
frustrated love
told me...
"never change"
when I expected something else
move allong the narrow path
