Picture PerfectA Poem by Lexi HammondMy boyfriend asked me to write something focusing on rhyming because I never do that and this is what came of it.
Some nights I cry like a storm and I drown in the rain
Not for my own sorrows but because I can feel others pain I feel it almost as deeply as they do, I know it sounds insane I cry for the food we eat and how a mothers baby was slain It's drizzling now thinking of the corrupt politicians who reign I hurt for my loved ones because nothing stayed the same Sometimes it storms so heavily I feel ashamed Like maybe for some of this hurt, I should take the blame Nobody points fingers or mentions my name That doesn't stop me from thinking maybe we're the same Maybe in life it's all just a game of who can make the prettiest picture for the frame My picture is pretty, don't get me wrong, but I'm shooting for perfect and I have bad aim © 2017 Lexi Hammond |
