Uninterrupted


Alone in my bed

Staring straight ahead 

Blankly 

Don’t deserve to be staring

Glaring 

Why? 

Already ruined my life

Missing out consistently 

Forever I lie

Stop it now

A way out of it somehow 

Excuse after excuse 

Perpetual muse 

Rhyme after rhyme 

Or pathetic overtime?

Get me out of this lingering

…ring 

…ringing that stings

That refuses to bring 

Me into a something 

Worthy of discussing 

The love it can bring?

 

Maybe, pathetically

Drunk wording can tell

…straight into this hell

 

Is there a being above

Or a strive for the goal

That will give us a power 

Beyond our control?

 

Okay so what books should I read to help me succeed? 

 

When will I shut the fuck up about the things that just suck?

Everyone suffers, so maybe just limit the questions

Leave it, drop it 

Do the others take pity?

 

The others seem to go and go 

lightheartedly shifting forever low

Gleaned and beamed and dismissed as sow

…yet reaped preemptively 

 

Guess I will never know.
