In poverty I dream of labour / Wish I was normal

 Fall

 

1.In the midst of winter

My heart became a snowflake,

And it touched the ground

With the force of an earthquake.

 

2.At the dawn of spring

It slipped into a river,

And melted away,

Too cold to even shiver.

 

3.In the midst of summer

Things will be set free,

But the wait is too long,

I won’t be here to see.­­

I'm so sad I could write a poem

 Bad joke

 

1.My life is in ruins,

I ruined it myself,

Like an ancient writing

Turns to dust when on its shelf.

 

2.I didn’t ask for one,

But can we have two, please?

One for entertainment,

One for falling on your knees.

 

3.When did it become this?

When did it fall apart,

A silent domino

Aiming straight at my heart.

 

4.My life is a bad joke,

I stumble in my dreams

And when I look around

It’s just me not laughing.

If you come only when you need me: GTFO.

 Running out

 

1.I’m running out of patience,

You’re running out of time,

At least where I am at now

I don’t count every dime.

 

2.I’m running out of feelings,

You’re running out of soul,

Somehow your broken pieces

Don’t add to make a whole.

 

3.I’m running out that door now,

Out of ways to look sad,

What can I say, man up girl,

The pain lies in your head.

 

4.What is the last thing you see

When you look at the sky?

They say forgiveness tastes sweet,

But revenge makes you high.
