Ben J G Poet ABC

Just Somethin I Wrote

They tell me i'm crazy because i choose to sleep in my car, quickly they add up 
how much money i should be making.  to that i can only reply, in order to achieve 
the goals i want to reach i must endure a little suffering now.  i call myself crazy 
cause i wish to write to and about you passionately.  to that i can only say i hardly 
know you.  this is not a poem and i tried not to write in any rhythmic pattern.  just 
thoughts that need releasing, thoughts i've long tried to ignore.  
i try to be happy but its hard when it seems so much is going so wrong.  six 
weeks ago i totaled my ride; my folks tell me God was looking out for me.  that’s 
kinda hard for me to believe when there are so many more that not only need 
him/her but want him/her to be a presence in their lives.  
i work day in and day out but i cant show you anything worth while.  voices tell me 
i'm an emt i should be happy saving lives, but they don’t see the hell i see.  the 
voices love me, i can tell they do, it's in the messages they give to me.  they talk of 
things i need to be doing, and refuse to hear the things i want to be doing.  voices 
are all i have to tell who's who, you see their faces have long since faded in order 
to release all emotional attachment.  
i hope you stayed with me this far, because i'm talking about happiness.  some 
day is too far away to wait and tomorrow is too soon to obtain all i have set for 
self.  i think i'll choose to find happiness now writing, more so writing with you in 
mind.  from this i hope questions will arise, questions that will be asked and 
answers demanded.  my thoughts don’t stop coming though i wish they would.
