Poem
Endless curse, my love for you A dirty life, my ritual of solitude Quiet days and empty nights Foggy mornings and everything that comes with lack of sleep And silence abound My lover, the ground Shaking off the morning shakes Pop a pill and try to catch a bus Withdraw in my homey shell A hermit crab moving at the speed of life Swept up in tides A bone-crushing ride Another day, another death Facing how my apathy is breaking down my base I can't stand up, I can't fight back It's easier to just let the stars around just pass me by It's just how it goes And thus, silence drones A profession based on shaking hands A difficult life for a boxer with no arms A ticket bought with a golden voice Anxiety to ride grows now that my cords have been cut A loss of one's self Stuck on the shelf Sleep in, miss another day Mother's growing worried and my voice mail's getting full Lose another twenty pounds A diet is much easier when you can't afford to shop Bathing in light Computer's blight Crank out another project Make the day's wages so I can keep the water on Apologize for the delays See the saccharine words flow by that don't wipe up the ink A blot on a page Became the whole stage Making love to rum and coke But it doesn't make it easier to make it through the night Chafes and burns and vomit stains Rise to the occasion and move to keep myself alright Puppet on strings The crown of the king Shout out into the black night Until the sirens flash and send me running back alone Slam out further angry words The music of this keyboard is all that keeps it from collapse A desperate cry The knave shall comply.
