MISERY.
my
issues
stay
engulfed
This poem makes no sense
Lets drink some wine
relate in our sadness
feel close
and not so empty
because of the wine
and us.
I want to eat three donuts
and gain no weight.
I want to learn French
and speak Spanish fluently.
I want to play the guitar
and sing a Beatles songs.
I want to give more love
and have a boyfriend.
I want to receive more love
and have a boyfriend.
I want no language barriers
between myself and my family.
I want to not stress
about working out everyday.
I want to write too much
and have many to appreciate it.
Most of all
I want to stop wanting so much.
Your song was on replay and
Intentionally I pressed the pause button
But then you pressed play
How do I skip a song that's on repeat?
I don't want to love you anymore.
I thought I was just getting by.
No. I don't want to do that.
Perhaps if I rhyme,
I'll sound fine.
No. No. No
It's all wrong.
I'll save you from the cliche
that I wan't to magically inspire you with.
I'll stop myself from attempting to sound clever
with my rehearsed lines that I claim are ad-libs.
I'll tell you straight.
I. want. to. feel. passion.
The kind that weighs your chest down
from the moment your in unison
and separate into harmonies
as an emergent part
yet still together as a whole
like unison.
The kind that makes you feel pain
breaking your back
when one has hurt the back
of your friend
because you are one.
The kind that keeps you struggling
because the journey it kills
but the results save
so you continue to walk, run, drag yourself
till the end.
The kind that makes you focus
on one in a million and five.
The kind that makes you perceive
a new perspective of a million and six.
I. want. passion.
I want to feel together with something, someone, anything.
I want it to hurt deep.
The more blood that seeps
The more colors of passion
there will be.
I stand still in reflection
at how much has happened
how slow everything feels
how fast it all went
and how much can happen.
In short
the events in life
were fast.
In long
the current events
in life
feel slow.
I don't feel like I'm moving
which scares me.
But then I reflect
and see how I've come so far.
When I realize the speed through reflection
my mind wants to stand still
in awe.
But time waits for none.
With time I must move on.
Don't pretend to be my babe.
I don't have the time of the day.
Or at least love to give away.
Love to someone that won't stay.
I can't wait.
I've lost faith.
You were never here anyways.
