Wish I could take some cues from Langston Hughes. It’s hard to write blues. It’s hard to write blues. If it were a game, I would lose. Continue reading The Blues Blues

Thoughts, stuck in my head Whispering to my brain Making me cry out as if it was rain I know its just nonsense but I cant have them go away It’s like they’re running around And reminding me everyday They always take over I just cant get them under control Whenever I try to flick them out there’s little brain men on watch patrol They do the most nastiest stuff And make my heart beat fast And whenever I try to talk about it, I get stopped as if I’m trapped in a cast They wont ever leave Their feet … Continue reading Little Brain Men

Everybody, gather around me. I’m telling you the story of when I ate cheese. That day was the worst day of my life. It started when I got cheese, but only a slice. The mice were thirsty for blood, but hungry for cheese. So the mice took out their knives, and I said “please.” The mice heard what I had said, then they said you’re lucky you’re not dead, and with that, they took the cheese and left my home. Now I know to surrender when mice roam. Continue reading Cheese

At daybreak, it’s bright. At night, there is no light. I feel the cold cool air circle around me like ice to skin. I see an owl perched on a tree, its cold amber eyes watching me like a teacher would do to a student. I hear a crackle of lightning. It starts to rain. I can’t see anyone just shadows. I try and lay low but as soon as I do, a shadow comes up to me. And I’m too late to save my fate. Continue reading The Dark
