Expansion Slot Poems | Examples

I Used To

I used to cry a lot,
I wouldn’t say I’m weak,
I would say my emotions like to clot.
until they were at their peak.
And no matter how much I fought,
They would always leak.

They would seep out,
And I couldn’t hold it anymore,
So my levies broke and my emotions spout,
Then crashed on my face’s shores.
I know what it was about.
My life is a lot of wars.

Both fist clenched
I swing at ghostly goons
Hoping to get drenched.
But they are like typhoons, 
Not able to fight but able to entrench.
So if water were my savoir I would live in the desert dunes.

I used to cry a lot, 
I wouldn’t say I’m weak,
I would say my emotions like to clot.
But I’ve learned a new technique,
To open up my expansion slot
And try to be better each week.
