A Prison Filled With Smoke

 I drew with a pencil that broke in the middle I drew with the shorter half that choked on the riddle I knew it was going to be harder to hide my fiddle I drew on top of a scar that had been ripped open too far I drew the stitches to cover the leakage in rage I made the lead to break I drew dark glasses to hide my eyes from lies that cover my face I drew empty classes where I teach freedom I knew no one would come and take the risk that it encompasses I drew the bucket  that has holes everywhere I drew the station that never sees a train only the pain of everything passing right through the empty tracks I drew a relation that is always in tension what should I say how should I pay what should I do not to stay I drew a blanket to cover my soul I drew a bullet to destroy the ghoul I knew someone will call me out I knew someone will shout I drew a chair where I can sit and think about being fair I drew a floor filled with gravity of good time smoke gathered around me suddenly, I ...

Rejection

Step Aside
You have not been picked.
You have not been picked
To play the heroic role in the drama.
Not been selected
To make the audience clap at your poetic charisma.
Not picked in the group.

To march next to the troop.
Your girl says never.
When all you thought was her this summer.
No not picked for the friend’s birthday.
Yet asked for a ride at the same friend’s wedding day.
Can you please
Not take the cheese.
Who are you trying to appease.
When what I get from everyone is tease.
Grinning at me all the time.
Don’t worry you are sublime.
Stand Out
And you don’t get to shout.
Accepting failure with such disaster.
You can’t cry with laughter.
Cause you need to hide.
As people love when you slide.
Bad choices make you num.
Still better than not being picked up by your mum.

Make your Way
Don’t wait until today.
Hold the push.
Climb the windy mountain.
Run in the dark with a flickering lantern.
Let people scream.
You scream louder.
Get your feathers greasy.
Flap your wings and fly lazy.
You were picked.
When the coin just flipped.
