Still Hollow
6/27/22
A bit colossal
It's awful
Inside still hollow
Painting pictures like Picasso
Going against or the rest will follow
Many that are ill and wallow
F a pill bottle
The same can be said for those that kill swallows
There's no need to wait until tomorrow
Or to remain filled with sorrow
Far from done yet
Lived to see another sunset
It all started with one step
Always nearby is lurking some threats
Plus several dumb pests
I can't stay upset
Ready to face what's next
In order to finally reach success
It's unknown and in code
But I'll do my best to decipher this
Always been a quiet kid
I admit
Often was blind to it
Paying little if any mind to it
While staring at ashes inside a fire pit
Then I started to find a grip
Realizing there's no time to quit
Not solely relying on a survival kit
When a crisis hits
I'll do it all not just dive and dip
Was originally confined and tied too
Occasionally hitting up a drive thru
Eventually I changed my view
No longer is it all quite new
Tried and true
Might just surprise you
If I decide to
Slide through
For far too long, I was lied to
For a better end, I'll join a night crew
Effort bare minimal or hundred percent times two
Never mind you
This is far beyond a haiku
Can't rely on being lucky
A world revolving around money
Shoutout to Bun B
As well as Crocodile Dundee
The same to Crunchy
And Mumsy
No matter when it gets gusty
And if it's dusty
I will not be fussy
I'll be able instead of rusty
Ready to handle it justly
Because it can turn ugly
Then bloody
Suddenly
Can't remain comfy
In order to come out triumphantly
No celebration or company
It's typical like all this puppetry
The same can be said for gluttony
Seen rampant and abundantly
