She came up for air and
Found she had gotten lost
In the undercurrent,
Swept away by a forbidden
Yesterday.

spend your whole life being mad,
or you can just accept it,

But its gotten to hard now

What's Left?

When what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, 
what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting, what ever it is you've got left.

How far have I really gotten?
Am I overestimating the distance of my journey?
I’d like to think not
I hope I get to where I want to be,
Where I need to be

It's a bad case and the prescription is you
There's a bird out there that's gotten me
That writes mad rhymes to a Rotten T

Love has gotten the best of me
Heart lost to bitter acidity

I flinch each time you claim we're one flesh
Seventy-three years long; you've not gotten it yet?
You are you, and me, from a different tree; not set

Within yours.

Soul

If you have not gotten to know my soul. 
Then you know nothing of my scars & my soul. 
So save the egotistical compliments to take my blindfolds off. 
They will not work.

Harsh time flew and I've gotten so old,
suffering from treacheries untold,

Whether Or Not

“whether or not”


two days without walking,
and without out loud talking.

or have i gone crazy;
complaining, when’s the rain going to start stopping?

I heard the bird hit the window
So I went to find the fallen creature
He was not laying outside my sunroom
So I feel he must have gotten up
And flew away
To live another day

Premium Member The Peas Have Sprouted

“The peas have sprouted,” he said with a shout!
Old Man Winter has finally gotten out.
Soon it will be fresh vegetables and flowers,
And fighting the deer so they won’t devour!

Your Child

i cry every night
when dreaming of you
because you made me whole
though,hardly did i appreciate
the love you gave to me
ma,your child weeps
and it's never gotten any better.

rain

i wasn't done telling you about my day

i hadn't even gotten to the part where i got soaked in the rain

i wish you could have stayed

i was almost done with my story

i promise

Saw Trump With a Seattleite

Saw Trump With a Seattleite

We saw Trump with a Seattleite;
Both had gotten  into a big fight;
Change of heart,
From very  start;
He lost so shiped off in a sattelite.

hide and seek

my mind and i
are at a game of hide and seek

only
i think i've gotten the rules wrong

i am both
the hider
and the seeker

forever searching for her
but terrified of being seen

False Advertisement

a guy turned to me today & 
held out a pack of Smarties (c).

he said that he’d been eating them for a while,
and he hadn’t gotten a bit smarter.

then he paused before saying
“it’s a lie.”
