Just a Poem

 

I’ve got a thousand problems

And I can really list em

Poke me too hard

They pour out like a sewer system

 

I say that cause they stink

Not because they smell

I may not be a clam

But I have an outer shell

 

It hides my inner child

And it’s a little hard to break

The only time that it’s broken

Is when I’m not awake

 

Long sleeved shirts

Can hide external scars

But I can never hide

That I feel behind bars

 

I should have an angel on my shoulder

But instead there are two devils

They whisper in my ear

And take things beyond levels

 

Some games are hard 2 play

Play mine and you’d loose

Some might think I’m wrong

Just try walking in my shoes

 

My shoes are hard and heavy

It’ll take a lot 2 walk

Try 2 go some miles

And then we can talk

 

After your done walking

Try walking back

A thousand pounds on your feet

This is my life off track

 

I strive 2 b successful

Mostly 2 b humble

But sometimes I’m like a damn

Break me and I crumble

 

My damn is full of tears

So please don’t do me bad

It builds and builds and builds

And it’s fragile might I add

 

So please be careful

Around my fragile damn

But I forget about it sometimes

I even forget who I am

 

So my damn ends in pieces

It’s not like I didn’t see it coming

The pain isn’t as bad

But I could use some numbing

 

My feelings are strong

And I’m not afraid 2 show em

But hey

This is just a poem
