Poem
If I had another life… Food is but a cold reminder, Life has been unfair to me. Wish upon a starry star, to find a plate of empathy. Understand I mean so much, My voice it sounds so hollow! Waking up in agony, I only live in sorrow. Picture books are full of drawings, Abstract ruination. Colour me in with vitamins and leave me to my ruin. All I want is everything And nothing at the same time. All I want I cannot have, Or take or even find. Days like this serve to remind me, I am but an egg shell. Swiftly broken pieces swept away, Nobody to tell. If only I could start again, I'd rip this up And send another swimmer. This life is broken! I am not a happy, be-lucky, winner. Things are not quite as they seem, When I look in your mirror. All I see is a reflection of me, But I am looking thinner. I don't know which way I chose to go, Is it up or down? I just don't know! I'm heading for the stars, I couldn't be happier, I never even tried. I want to live like I have already died. Swim with the fishes, All that I truly know is, They never seem to cry, Days are all numbered. One to ten, and then repeat the process. I cannot, I will not, Vote for a system that is causing distress. Leave things just as they are And starve or start a revolution. All I state is there will be no peace, Until we build a Freedom. Creatures only crawl into my mind. All I do is pass the time, Selling broken watches, To all my broken well-wishers, my peeps. They cannot appreciate, There is no early, There is no late, There is only a right time And a place to send me, But I will never tell them; They couldn't agree. One day I will find a way to live, Or find a way to be free… But today is not that day… That is all I CAN say... (C)2018 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
