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.

still,
an iron lake in my heart
that swallow the fisherman
who try to catch something of worth.

I’m cold.
My bed is empty,
the other pillow is cold.

Midnight again,
I watch stars, sleeping;
tracing constellations that never were,
dreaming dreams that will not be.

Hot once, now cold,
the iron lake devours all.
