Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
i sit here
with all these words
at my command
and try to find the mix
that will paint the clearest picture
of what i feel today
but as i sit here
phrases swirling into line
to be crossed off the list
one by one
each rejected
by my mind
as too precise
or too confusing
just not good enough
i listen to the message
my heart is sending out
there are no words
there is no way
for me to let you see
just how i feel today
maybe there has never been
and all my tries have been in vain
but whether or not that is true
i've come to realize
that there is nothing more to say
i'm wracking my brains
trying to find some new, fresh, unique way
to say what's been said before
but i am nothing but a broken key
pressed down and punching out
the same letter:
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
for that is all i see in these
works i have spread
in the hopes that someone will tell me something
i don't already know
it is all about me
and while life is ever
only about the self
i get tired of being
so in my head
but as my head
is so in me
there doesn't seem a way around it
so iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
will keep writing these poems
while trying to ignore
how pointless they really are.
