If I Had...A Poem by Abhishek RamIf I had a nickel for every time… I annoyed people, I could buy their admiration. I made people laugh at me, I’d be Jerry Seinfeld. I was made into a joke, I’d be a copyright. I was left broken and sad, I could afford a shrink. If I had a friend for every time… I felt alone, I would be surrounded by a nation. My heart decided to fold, I would be taped up and upheld. I cried in pain, there would be too many shoulders for too many sad nights. I needed to escape my sorrows, there would be a frat party full of drinks. If I had a new scar for every time… I was broken, I would be a million times over dead. I felt ruined, my eyes would be too torn for tears to be shed. I was left to my own demons, I would look like one of them. I failed myself and you, I would be a flower torn head from stem. If I had to anger you every time… I messed up, you would mess me up. I felt dead, you might just arrange it. You tried to salvage me, on the trash pile I still would be, no less on top. You genuinely loved and cared for me, you would stop giving a s**t.© 2016 Abhishek Ram |
