POEMS
I try and write poems as much as possible. Just little fragments of thoughts that I have throughout the day.
Here are some of them.
Here are some of them.
Political opinions
Are only socially acceptable
If they fall short
Of everyone else's
-a cliche
I am the leftover coffee
My lover warms up the next morning
After forgetting to drink me
The entire night before
-forgettable
Love is an abstract art.
There is no right way
There is no wrong way.
People will continue to criticize it
Until it becomes
What they want it to be
-sad unpublished author
When lives gives you lemons
Don't waste them.
Because who knows the next time
She will give you lemons
Again
-trying to understand life
4 hours into
An 8 hour sleep
Wide awake with thoughts
Of a fan blowing
A red dot from a TV screen
And the unevenly parted
Just slightly.
Existential thoughts flood my mind
Depriving me of the sleep
I've been told I need
To survive a world that keeps me awake at 1am
Thoughts of she
The girl I fell in love with in 7th grade
Thoughts of the life I've yet to even live
Of my fear of oblivion
And of the sleep I should have fallen victim to
4 hours ago.
I wish the world
Would leave me
alone.
-a sleepless college student
