I am the man with verses in his head
without these verses written, I'd be dead.
I'll force a laugh, I'll force a silly rhyme,
a perfect tool, I think, for passing time.

I started bleeding verse in middle school,
a tired loser, rotund and uncool,
but things can change, oh I was loved and lost,
and (natur'lly) by this fucked-up tempest tossed.

I'm in my 20s now, I'm living on,
(and also, by some standards, living wrong)
but I do what I must (and so it goes)
and what will I write next? Nobody knows.

Oh look, a sonnet! but I forced some rhymes.
Thank God I won't hang for that petty crime.

an ode
to sunlight mornings
and bright dreams.

all of those trappings
of a normal everyday life ;
oh, how I miss them.

to just roll in the grass
and pick petals from flowers
once more again.

if only I could rejoin
threads thoroughly severed
and make it looked like
nothing happened.

nothing can be
perfect again.

but in a flutterby’s wings
I see hope again.
