#boulders
i'm beyond stressed.
i can't help but wonder when the good lord will let me rest.
the pressure is building upon my shoulders.
like the ocean swells that crash upon the cliffside boulders.
all of these tiresome, daily meddles.
i'm waiting for the moment it all comes crashing down and the dust finally settles.

The world is flat
That's what they told me
...and I always take people at their word
Nice people like at The Acme Company
always believing what they say
I am a gullible fool
to trust, to love, to hope
to get ground down that way
I cower
I yelp when kicked
Running, madly
scramble over edge of ice
(New concept of Antarctica)
Missed the sign
for The Acme Map Company
and that dead end
Loaded down with Acme Explosives
Cartoon coyote
Always sees “that painted tunnel”
as possible place to hide
Inexplicably
shows up again--
just a little fried
smoke rising from my scalp
small white flag in hand
says, “HELP”
Scramble over that ledge of melting ice
and crumbling shame
Clinging by my fingertips
You'd think something would finally do me in
Me and "Wile E. Coyote-- Genius"

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner are classic cartoon characters that date back to 1949. They've been popular ever since. I think the sound effects, music, and the timing of the animators are elements that make them so good. Their expressions just **** me.

Paper boulders wash
up on the shores
of my feet.
Discarded contemplation,
no longer lingering
on pristine white.
But gives metaphors for
reflective meanings,
another falls, washed up words.

Boulders crushing
In a landside
Unable to lift
Betrayal hit me
My love crushed me
You crushed me
In a landslide
Stealing my breath away
“I’ll never hurt you”
“You’re too good for me”
“When you hurt I hurt”
In a landslide
In a landslide
You never came
And I faded away
Along with my trust in you.

What is wrong?
You don't sing the normal song.
Your tune is so off,
the words all seem so wrong.
You're losing your mind?
You're falling apart?
This can't be out of the blue.
Just when did this start?
What don't you understand?
I can't help, if I don't know.
What is wrong?
I'm trying to explain,
and I don't know why,
but I feel so very vain,
what was the song,
I used to sing?
I'm trying so hard.
I'm on shattered glass.
I'm holding these rocks,
no, boulders of the past.
I cry out to you,
but what could you do?
I'm so scared.
I'm not strong.
What is wrong?
Please tell me what's wrong?
Why are you scared?
I know, you're not strong.
I don't know how to save you.
I'm no hero, you know.
I'm trying so hard to help you,
but I'm stuck in the front row.
We all love you,
just please,
tell us just what is it you need?
So that we can help you,
and heal as you bleed.
What is wrong?
I've changed.
I'm running from my life.
I've lost that 'optimistic' me.
Now who am I left to be?
Have I fallen like an angel?
Or am I still on earth?
Why is pain so painful?
Just when did I disperse?
Where am I,
if i'm not here?
Somehow I just disappear?
I'm unstable.
Save me.
Save me.
Save me.
I plead.
Tell me the answer I really need.
What is wrong- with me?
