A Message to the New Generation
I want the children to listen
As I watch them
With glistening eyes
Fishing
In the pond of life
Searching for meaning
And only reeling
In
Suffering and strife
I want to tell these kids
To rid of their poles
And give up
The search
For they will never be content
From the content
Of the pool
Cruel
It is
But life was never meant to be observed
Even though we feel we deserve
An answer
To the terminal cancer
Called life
My advice?
Live
Live and discover a passion
And imagine
A future
Where you’re the
Happiest person alive
Then turn it into reality
Promise me
You’ll steer
Clear
Of the lavish life of luxury
With the absurd amounts of
Flammable paper
Labor
Practiced
Just to actively
Produce money
Should be a sin
Look within
Do what you love
And that
Sweet children
Should be enough
Words That You’ll Never Hear
Confused emotions
Causing a commotion
Coating my mind with delusional thoughts
Tugging at my heart at the usual spots
Lots and lots
Of problems arise
It's do or die
When these emotions come by
And it’s all because of you
When it’s you and I
I forget how to count
Three
One
Four
Two
Five
I will do anything just to impress you
Not to undress you
But to show that I care
No amount of drugs
Or attempts at finding other loves
Have worked
I just keep coming back to you
Like a clock
You have my mind rocked
Swirling over and over
Hurricane season
You are the reason
That I even
Try
I-
I-
Love you
I do
I don’t
I won’t
I can’t
Because losing you is a wish I won’t grant
Our friendship would be in danger
I’m no stranger
To how these things play out
There’s no need for a thesis
I hand you my heart
You bring it back in pieces
Awkwardness parades on
Until our friendship officially ceases
Leave this hypothetical
I know it all too well
Life would be hell
If you were gone
Wrong
An impossibility
You leaving
I do not fear
For, these are words
That you will never hear
