Poem
I've never been a coward
I've never been named Howard
I'm not a doctor but I'm like a doctor
Struggling with patience
And I hate this and how I debate this
Delete this, delete that
Like I delete fat off my body
Wearing a wreath of holly
Perhaps a folly, perhaps something jolly
Some call me a sinner
But call me whatever you want
Just don't call me later for dinner
These words I frame on this page
For fame in a fit of rage
Yet despite it all I'm stuck in a cage
The bars made out of ebony
But it's heavenly to be isolated
And that's what has been fated
Because I self-isolate and live as a loner
But perhaps that's a misnomer
I could hit a homer or travel to Somer
Like a blast to the past
To explore the vast reaches of space
With haste I look for my place
In case I lose my pace
But look at my face
A book just for my taste
Placed here for me to read:
"Be who you are today,
Because tomorrow you might be someone different."
"Expect failures to happen,
And learn from them when they do."
"Accept people's quirks,
Because that is what you will miss most when they're gone."
"And don't be afraid to drop rhyme,
Because it's not a crime."
These words I read aloud if I may be allowed
And I vowed to be a better man somehow
And now I look for the tower
A monolithic symbol of power
That may cause lesser men to cower
But when the stars cascade in a celestial shower
I'll take the chance to dance and fancy that
Romancy chat with the one I love
Above all else I wanted to be a dove
But I was born a crow
Always cawing sadly but now I know
That if I am to grow and not be craven
I'll indulge the wisdom of a raven
To find the gates of my own haven
In the pages of this book I'll cackle like a crook
Because I took all the wisdom inside
And now it's to you that I confide
I've never been a coward
I've never been named Howard
I'm just me
And that's all I can be
Today or tomorrow
I'll live without sorrow
When sadness is looking wronger
I'll find the strength to be stronger
And to you who finds these words
Please let them be heard
Don't sacrifice your soul
To fit in with the coal
Because your soul is not tainted
Even if you've been told so
Delete this feeling
And delete that which is self-defeating
For life's grand yarn is all too fleeting
So take it from me when I say you are allowed
To speak these verbose passages aloud
And the most important one for you to see:
"I love me."
