You aren’t really doing much
Except drinking beer
But also eating a ton of food
Almost like you got a crutch
As you keep telling yourself “Cheers”
You don’t look all that great nude
But anyway, insomuch
To say you got a situation here
Wouldn’t be all that rude
So when you tell your wifey we’re going dutch
Realize and absorb one of your greatest fears
You really gotta step that shit up, dude.
Will I ever do the right thing?
I don’t know, but every time I try
It ends up never working right
My life is a series of mistakes guiding me
To where, I do not know
It never ends, it never quits
It never ceases, but who gives two shits
Just you, my good friend
This anger will stay until the very end
No matter what happens
Slowly yet surely, the whole world blackens
What’s the point, why even try?
Eventually, I’ll cease to be, and die
I hate myself, and I don’t know what to do
Everywhere I turn, my answers are low and few
So I’ll keep trying to escape this hell
On the inside it burns, but nobody can tell
This little kid, making a fuss
Under my breath, I always cuss
“This little dude is wearing me out”
As he sits there naked, making a pout
He learned to take off his diaper last week
Lemme tell ya, parenting is not for the meek
Its tough as hell, and you’ll fumble a lot
Every single day is a mini battle to be fought
But at the end of the day, you’ll look at them and smile
As the feelers in your tummy begin to spin and rile
“Ya know, I think I can do this for awhile.”
All’s well that ends well…
Or so they used to say…
Safely here, in my cell
Oh, how these dark thoughts weigh…
Deep, deep within my skull
The voices, they scream out
“End it all, end it all!”
But these thoughts must be culled…
There’s simply no need to pout!
Only 350 years to stare at this wall.
Looking out on the day below
Nothing but doom and sorrow
Everyday, it’s exactly the same
Am I sure it’s really tomorrow?
My only source of light are the glowing poles above
My eyes always fully adjusted
To this present gloom all around
With this world, i’m always disgusted
But then I realize something rather profound
That my inner world is only a reflection
And with this, everywhere begins to look a little brighter
I begin to see myself as perfection
Little by little, things get brighter and brighter
How could this have been so plain?
All I had to do was look within and smile
And say goodbye to all of my darkness and pain
I wrote these poems to a work friend who recently passed away, she will be dearly missed.
There once was a woman from New York
Who was tired of government pork
So she packed her bags
Said goodbye to some old hags
And didn’t end up looking like a dork
“#GingerPower”
Red hair is the best
Wouldn’t you agree with that?
Blazing with fire
What I would give, for just one more day
One more chance, to say what I needed to say
All those things I wish I could have taken back
Everything I wasn’t, everything I lacked
But to tell you all of this, there wouldn’t be a point
I can’t go back there, not to that joint
What’s done is done, I can’t return
From that relationship, a lot I’ve learned
I can’t depend on you to be my sky
My sun, my moon my stars, without you I’d have died
But now I’m better, and that’s all done
I sure as hell lost the battle, but the war within, I’ve won
It only takes a single thought
And then the spiral begins
No matter how much I fought
Up come all of my past sins
I’ll try to get away, escape
To a brighter and better place
Keeping my noggin in tip-top shape
Only to keep falling in disgrace
I feel like there’s nothing I can do
No matter how much I try
No thing I feel like I should pursue
Letting all my interests die
So with another sleepless night
The day begins anew
How much longer can I fight?
Maybe ask yourself that, too
I can’t hella put into words
How much I miss my baby
Some say love is for the birds
But they don’t know my lady
She’s cute and she’s cool
She loves to play games
When I see you I drool
And for that, I cannot take the blame
I love your eyes
Your nose, your smile, your laugh
You make me rise (hell yeah)
I love doing things on your behalf
So my lover hum hum
Please accept these rhymes
To your affection I succumb
And I take you for all times
Melancholy and the Shining Light
