| Poetry Slam
I'd like to start a poetry slam on this thing...any takers? I'm 4 months sober and RESTLESS as all hell:
Heres my poem:
i can't sleep tonight
i got the 'what if' itch
the 'what is' burn
the 'what should' blues
i got the twenty something song
of aint got the smallest clue
i got the 'miss em' rash
the regrets rampant bug
the blues
the blues
i can't sleep tonight
i got american guilt
in the coziest house with
the easiest life
feelin strangled in my quilt
i got the red white blues
the who knew
the pollution
carbon chokehold
got the wanna
write a book
but aint got no way to say
got the ex-lover serenade
beatin me into this premature romance grave
got the got no savins
livin' with my dad
cataracts
got him no callin
her not showin
the 'them not really there' cares
i can't sleep tonight
cause i didn't take my pill
the benedryl crutch
wrapped in side some
unsatisfied hormone rush
a big painstaking lust
for meaning that aint there
for them
that just don't care
i got the new dress depression
and i just cut my hair
i got the beauty and the best
co-habitation inside me
got the
the smoke again
broke again
burnt out
blown up
blues
the blues
got the epidemic to choose
the dried out, dampened,
doorknob twistin chancin'
spit parched pathways
of my future name,
my future place
man, i got dem itchin blues
20 somethin
not knowin what to do
LET'S GO PEOPLE...SLAM TIME.
