Songs

Yesterday I was told
that every tune
every note
every chord progression
had been
played
or sung
and that it was impossible
to have something new

No new songs.

Odd, I hear new songs everyday.

I'm Happy about it

I'm relatively sure
I finally found you
finally
figured out
that you're not this
fictional
character
I have created

and

I'm happy about it

I Love You (a lot)

SO, piece is a "Bad Poem" and I know I've said countless times I don't believe in bad poetry, but today (and yesterday) in my poetry class (at camp not school) We were talking and I realized that there really is such thing as "bad poetry" especially if you're trying to make it bad. So our assignment was to write a "bad" poem, using the list of things that made poetry bad, here was mine (which by the way, won, for worst poem)(the title alone should tell you its going to be horrible)

Sometimes
I love you
a lot
Sometimes
I do not
You make me very very mad
which also makes me super sad
You always walk out the door
I don't want you anymore
But
I also miss you
lots and lots
lots and lots
The way you loved tater-tots
almost as much as I love you
I love you
a lot
lots and lots
So much
I'd buy you six million
tater-tots

Everything

We can get so wrapped up
in our own little worlds
that we don't even realize
whats happening to us

to everyone

slowly

we're losing it

losing everything

You're gonna screw it up

You're gonna screw it up again
so I don't trust you on this
There's no telling
where you'll end up
and
if you
weren't here
I
couldn't be talking
you know
I
love
you
But
It's hard
because
there's to much pressure now

Very

You tend to make me feel
very angry
very annoyed
and
very in love

Read between the lines

and leave me alone

Let me go

Let me go
step back
and slap me

I did something
wrong

you shouldn't be holding me
and letting me cry into your shoulder

If

If
you were to stop wallowing in self pity
for five minutes
and step back
to look at how amazing you are

you'd see that we need you
and love you

and maybe
you'd see

you need us too.

Poof

I'm sorry
But I
poured my my heart
and soul
into this place
and

poof

just like that
everything

gone

what the hell is going on
