Mid-November BluesA Poem by Bryan Sanchez
Vanity, vanity, vanity;
A cheap word for rich people. How I the son of no country Can stoop so high amongst my ceiling Just to be kicked away by your Prejudice Insanity, such a lovely phrase Left and right buy the same You're just a conundrum That rolls itself down across the lanes It kicks and stumbles And cries for pills I'll be too scared to admit to Needing You wouldn't believe me anyways Loveless No, love less; You know who you are Exactly what you're going to say Jesus christ you're a burden to yourself Keep calm and carry on The best things in life are free Freedom is solitude Freedom is bliss Freedom is buying 4 cans of cheap liquor And knowing you don't have to share But sharing everything about your heart To the strangers That can never get any stranger Now you're sleepless, Because you had to look at her picture (again) You're also very tired of sitting around All goddam day So you squirm just that much more Hoping and bumming, Bumbling and rumbling Chastising, ostracizing Bleeding Bleeding Bleeding Crying Bleeding S**t, you mentioned it Now I got to hear it again All of this while I smile Because honey, I'm still waiting for a sunny day When the flowers are right! I'm still lonely, But I can hope. I'm still poor, But I can hope. I'm still crazy But I can hope. That's my mid-november blues. That's my mid-november blues. And then I go back to nonchalance. © 2015 Bryan Sanchez |
