Kicked Through
Knock knock I kept knocking at addictions door
Each knock feeling as if only they were knocked
Days turned to weeks with little to no progress
I kept knocking at the door so well locked
Failure after failure I became its expert
I’ll try my elbows at this door so blocked
Do I ask for help or do I seek wisdom

The Day I Kicked The World
I kicked the world lay at my feet
the wrong way down a one way street
I kicked and kicked and didn’t stop
until I reached the paper shop
and thought my journey was complete.
Between the headlines of defeat
Liverpool's team was in retreat
hearing the call from Jürgen Klopp
I kicked the world.
My dad leapt up out from his seat
with

How Frank Sinatra Saved My Life - Or At Least Got Me Kicked Out Of The Hospital
Up and down, up and down, up and down
I don’t know if I have any more energy for
Up and down
If the line would flatten
I could finally rest
A masked woman wearing scrubs
Fights my inclination for slumber
But, sleep equals peace
My lungs and head droop
Alarms blare
I hear mumbled words
Something about rousing my oxygen levels
I breathe the

Kicked To the Curb
There she lies, all bruised and bleeding.
She always gets up.
There's no conceding.
She'll never comprehend the reason.
Was it too easy because she was seasoned?
Another's strong emotional reaction kicked her to the curb.
Now she's in traction.
A broken system in the dust.
Whom can one truly trust?
Regardless how cloudy some days seem to be,
the sun will break thru eventually.

Time Kicked Me In the Back
Time took a running start and kicked me in the back
Breaking my C-2 Vertebrae. No biggie.
I have had worse. I take a swig on my cig.
Neck brace? Sure. Why not?
Time slams a Chevy into the back of my car.
Breaking numbers six and seven in my back.
Time is kicking my ass this month I guess.
Luckily, my

We Plan To Get Kicked Out of Music
The art substitute teacher kicked ten of the seventeen sixth graders out.
The principal was beside herself. She brought four of them to me.
Could you play a game with them or something?
These four were not kicked out.
They are usually such clowns, the teacher didn’t even “try them” with a sub.
I played three or four

Kicked Out
It’s not my fault, how could I know
That wanting to be just me was not the way to go?
Just can’t believe that’s why they kicked me out
Too many rules and regulations in this house!
Sixteen years and still they can’t accept who I really am
School wasn’t easy, either – too many bullies in the ‘hood
Choosing to

Kicked In the Jewels
Pretty sure all you guys can attest to the pain
Kicked in the jewels, bad words you exclaim
Totally collapse
Prefer death perhaps
Eyeballs roll and you lose bits of your brain

Kicked Off On My Bucket List
KICKED OFF ON MY BUCKET LIST
Almost nothing to do in my last phase
spending useless idle indolent days.
Completed so-called family duty,
Running only through little activity.
Parents showering

Kicked Me When I Was Down
When you were bitter
Callous and unkind
Jumped to conclusions
Content to misjudge
Made a game of being cold
Wouldn’t give the time of day
Or offer up a cup of tea
Swept me off like crude debris
I wish I could say I rose above
And walked away without a care
That it didn’t hurt me to be snubbed
By you~ my most unlikely bully
You

The Day the Muse Kicked Clyde
Why did mares eat oats?
Mares ate goats!
And did does eat oats?
Nah! Dose oats never don' be eaten!
And how did little lambs eat ivy?
Little lambsy divy is what it is!
Just like Louie didn't Lou-eye,
Neither did Big Birds Cry
Nor did Fools Fall in Love - Y?
MCA, where it's NO FUN to stay
