Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

Just a Human Being

9/21/17


Just a human being
Heart, erratically beating
Scarred up from bleeding

Wheezing
Lungs and difficulty breathing
The same can be said for sleeping or dreaming

Someday from this place, I'll be leaving
Eyes, having trouble seeing
During the day and evening

Cheers!
Ears yet a severe
Problem with the ability to hear

Brain yet not truly thinking
Continually drinking
Like it's no big thing


Not a matter of mere days
Bones that break and age
Despite the winds of change

During any phase and stage
Regardless of if it happened to amaze
Or was considered strange

I'm not a kidder
Muscle that'll eventually wither
For any person and critter

Across the Earth
Organs that start to hurt
Then no longer work

Might seem all good and fine
It's just a matter of time
So while you can, enjoy the ride

Sunlite Wanter September 21, 2017 at 6:44 PM Well written and described - now don't dwell on it!!! Dalton Ogletree September 25, 2017 at 11:31 AM Thank you Sunlite :) You're right, it's not worth dwelling over!

Heidi Sands September 21, 2017 at 6:24 PM So true Dalton, we must enjoy the ride in time, the best we can :) Dalton Ogletree September 25, 2017 at 11:30 AM Yes you're right Heidi :) I wanted a more positive ending since it is a rather dark poem
