Best Poems Written by Caleb Gosnell

4:42 AM

yesterday 
i found my- 
self laughing 
and crying 
at the same 
time, and 
that’s when i 
realized i’m 
falling in 
love, with 
grief, god 
help me i’m 
so like an 
ocean my 
emotions 
rolling like 
waves, bil- 
lowing it’s 
true, and 
i know that 
you want some- 
thing, i 
know ‘cause i 
want it too 
there’s a tune 
in my head 
too obtuse 
to make sense 
so, i 
sketch these words 
scribbling 
scrambling 
frantically 
who is the 
king of this 
world that de- 
creed that we 
do as we’re 
told well i 
know we should 
but i can’t 
help but put 
swine before 
pearls and i 
see that we’re 
all singing 
the melo- 
dy, that 
haunts our sleep 
please wake me 
when we get 
there i want 
to know the 
end but i 
don’t want to 
know the thought 
of my own 
end, no 
more exist- 
ence, why 
is our 
world so 
dark turn 
on the 
light can’t 
deal with the 
grief
