Beautiful Scars Poet Sedoka

Lonely Blythe

Her brain surrounded,
    mind altering chemicals,
       made her life miserable.
memories crowded,
    she was my identical,
        only she got physical.


Take no more pills please...
   Put that drink in your hand down!
       Stimulated confusion.
Don't try to appease,
   if you're not happy then frown,
       hiding contempt illusions.

Gratification,
   you instantly found your high,
      drunk and falling down your stairs.
Anticipation,
   kept waiting for you to fly,
       pretending your debonair.

Incomplete madness,
   you studied sobriety,
      such wasted talented life.
Concrete sadness,
   if only one memory,
      my sweet sister, lonely blythe.
