Too
I am too happy
        to write a poem,
Words can't describe my feelings

I am too busy
         to write a poem,
Crumpled paper on the floor

I am too sad
         to write a poem,
My mind is not here

I am unmotivated
        to write a poem,
I need motivation

I have too many excuses
          why I cannot write anymore,
but I want to, i just cant
hello there! i missed you all. Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that u are having a great day

Let your hopes rise
now watch them drop
Aim for the stars
only to flop
Check with fate
at every stop
She revels in being a *****

Plunge into love
find yourself washed ashore
Denounce all affection
while pleading for more
Check with fate
at every door
She relishes being a *****

Brain brain, go away

Don't sabotage another day

I've stumbled much, yet I still try

Please let me live, before I die
My brain is my biggest enemy.

Don't mix *** with poetry
as similar as they may be
Within the folds of satin words
are ******* phrases best not heard
So be careful because just one chapter
Could close the book forever after

They said looks don't matter
but they lied
No one cares how ugly you are
on the inside
So be certain your scars
will easily hide
Then choke down the razors
and smile wide

Crisp citrus sheets
Two pairs of feet
Butterfly kisses
and whispers sweet

Rose petal streams
Golden moon beams
Butterfly wishes
come true in dreams

Blonde in a red Corvette, free as a bird
Me, just a child, staring at her
Remember thinking, that's where I'm gonna be
In a red Corvette, at 33
No kids, no baggage, not even a dog
Stomp on the gas, and simply take off
No limits, no signs, just a juicy sunset
The wind in my hair, not an ounce of regret
She never saw me, but I'll never forget
The phoenix who flew past me, in a red Corvette

Imagine being a poet with nothing to say.
Vacant eyes fixed on your screen all day.
If a lost soul reaches out, you slap them away.
You pretend to be a poet, but you've got nothing to say.
Poets are more than words.

I'm going to delve deep into the woods, and let falling leaves land on me.
So if anyone asks where I went, tell them I'm under a dying oak tree.
It's peaceful here.
My best friend's a deer.
Where on Earth would I rather be?

Dusty corsets keep busy while
mustache men
play Russian roulette.

The room reeks of gunpowder,
desperation, and sweat.

Upstairs are castaway women.
Don't pay them any mind.

Unless you'd like to debase the prettiest victim.
That'll cost you a dime.
