I hear Oregon banned smoking
~ though I'm a little hazy on that
I’ll ask you again
Mirror mirror on the wall
This is a hammer!
Anyone can crack up
Writers, santation workers , cops,
right - wingers, left wingers
It is not a nice thing to happen
But not the end of the world if you do
Many people don't believe in poetry
But we at poetrysoup.com know better, don't we!!
Poetry is the key to emotional help!
At least for people who believe in something
It is best to believe in something
Cracking up and cracking down
on the self who can't be found,
(someone said I may have drowned)
cracking down on childish rhymes
filling space and taking time
got to get to something fine,
write of all the dreams I ate,
swallowed pride and love and hate,
if I can negotiate
with the child inside my head,
who really only wants me dead,
(think of all the tears she shed)
maybe if I take her there,
and show her I can truly care,
cracking up would not compare
to simply cracking down.
you are the BEST thing
that happened to me
since i broke up
with my life.
