Why do you make goals? Such meaningless motions to live, It’s so unnecessary, impractical, When you won’t hold it up When you don’t mean it Why do you get pressed? Why do they get mad? When you refuse I don’t care for such motions, Such worthless goals, When I know what I need, want, They get pressed, upset, Such worthless, meaningless, Stupid motions… I hate them, when they antagonize, Question, and accuse, So hatful and rude, They don’t mind their business, I don’t aim for goals Why won’t they stay backed down? Back in their own lane, Life would be easier, practical, Simple, I loathe them, I loathe their motions.

An Impractical Cat
The urge for what's next Has blinded you what's already there! Don't you realize All the way in you're dead! This impractical imbecile you've become Nothing seems right To what's already been done! Seems like you've stopped thinking over. May not be able to put in words On how you feel, but all I know is we cling to memories of what we had not blindly seeking on everything to what's about to come!

The Desperate Heart
What do I do to prove my worth and show my love for you? I might ride a mighty raging steed to defend my maiden’s honor. I could. Well, maybe not. I’m very bad with horses. I’d just fall off and bust my *** It would be a bit absurd. I could pick you every daisy, rose, and mum; every flower in the world. I could. And make a huge bouquet. But that would make you sneeze, I think and no one else has flowers. I could bring you down the moon and stars from their home up in the sky. I could. But where the hell would you possibly put them. Your closet can’t have near the room, and it’ll cause havoc in the tides. I could give you the beating heart from my chest to prove my endless love. I could. For truth, no—I don’t think I could. I kinda need it now to live and, well, frankly that’s really rather gross. I mean…yuck. How do I prove my love for you and convince you of my worth? I hold your hand. I hear your voice. I kiss your lips. I give you all my time. For such a love as you I could.

Impractical Love
He has little sense of sorrow, He thinks of fond tomorrows. He’s a fabulist, a dreamer. Not quite a true schemer That would be too hard. More like a half-awake bard Making up poetic outcomes For a reality that never comes. Mostly he’s a *** He’s a moonbeamer, Sliding down colorless rainbows That he paints himself daily Proclaiming about how gaily The emptiness of his canvas Has so sadly missed us And somehow we are to blame For not managing to be the same As he is by appreciating That which is not there. He has daydreams to spare. He shares his hopeful possibilities That are not always practicalities Made of unborn actualities And fanciful surrealities Painted over his shortcomings Hoping nobody will see them And talk too badly against them Ahem-ing and coughing phlegm When he orates and pontificates On his latest boilerplate stories Of his imagined future glories. Lost in his own thought stream, He’s a totally hopeless dreamer.

THE DREAMER
The sweet taste of hope The spicy taste of thrill The bitter taste of reject The sour taste of neglect You learn to love the taste of bile Everything comes up But you keep it in Everytime. The pain almost hurts more Swallow. Swallow Swallow. You learn to hate the taste of blood Tongue in pieces Soul is shattered You can't find the words for how empty & small You've always felt inside So you shape. The physical To become the emotional Maybe you'll find the words if you can visualize Maybe if I see I can understand why I feel so Impractical & Frail inside
