Turtle
Maybe someday I’ll stop drowning,
perhaps I’ll lurk behind my clowning,
I shut my eyes and there’s only gloominess,
Oh, who’ll ever embrace this soul full of looniness,
I’ll be forced to prison myself willy-nilly,
I’ll accept this inglorious defeat boldly,
shape a buffoonery of defeat coldly.
The knife might block my reverie,
of all those wonderful 7 minutes of my memory,
oh, don’t be too harsh, don’t be cynical,
perchance, give me a try, don’t be so finical,
so what- if I have a grimy history,
but will I excuse myself? What a mystery!
A turtle suffocated by just another plastic,
another block on my shoulder? No, that’s too drastic,
stop smothering my soul, let me bleed out.
At least give me 7 minutes, what’s rush about?
