my heart goin' "boom boom boom"
This came to me yesterday at work while I was staking fifty pound bags of salt - I’m always amazed at the things that come to me when I zone out. It’s the first piece in a long line of overly emotional and sentimental works that I’ve actually felt comfortable posting for all to see. It’s simple and a little bit of a cliché but I’m still proud of it none the less. Enjoy!
If I was a topnotch poet
I would write a poem so damn deep
It would be bittersweet
A testimony for all those tired phonies
Who just don’t believe
In a guy like me
With its rhythm and its rhyme and its one sense of time
Truth would flow from every line
Telling of my hopes and fears
My joys and my tears
These lessons would resonate in ignorant ears
Singing of pain and of lost
Fighting for love at all cost
My soul would glow through
And all would know it
