Roses

Thank you all for coming out.

In my show you will hear all about

insanity, injustices, and most of all me.

There's no need to worry because most of all we

use the things we say just to try

and get a few poor people to not die.

I don't want sit here and tell you all lies;

all of the awards and the accolades are nice.

But what really takes me to my highest highs

is when the words I say come out so precise

that they just take control and they aid

everyone who is still weighed

down by the world on their shoulders 

and spend their entire day dodging boulders.

So take every show I say and just use it.

If you ever find yourself lost and you peruse it

I just hope that it will make a change

even if it is only of a small range.

I just want you all to be okay, okay?

Because no matter what they say, I say

that you can be anything you want to. You too

have a future that's as good as you. I grew

myself into a weed that only destroyed

and so when it was time, they all did avoid

me and my wandering wanderings. I

did unspeakable things that I can't speak. Why

am I so insane that I let it go?

This is my flow

but I do not know

if I can control

what flows out of this hole.

My mouth is so bad

and it just makes me so sad

when I mess up my soul.

I just get out on parole.

So just let me yell

and tell things I will never tell

to anyone else. I can't

work any harder. I pant

everyday of my life

just working to work hard. Strife

is a word that I use too much

because when I don't feel clutch

I fall back onto normal rhymes

that take me back to my child times.

Big or biggest but not bigger

than myself. I hold the trigger.

I c**k it, load it, and shoot it.

They all applaud because I am suited

to make a mess of myself

even while sitting on a shelf.

I jump off and look down below

at all of the faces I know.

I will never commit suicide

but I also won't step aside.

I'm creating my own ride.

But never ever follow suit

because the problems aren't acute.

They are big and growing more

into a menacing menace for sure.

Haha, see when I don't know what to say

I pick a word and say it twelve times in a day?

Menacing menace, but so pretentiously pretending

because some days I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing just blending

in with the common folk of my city.

Look, I'm not looking for anyone's pity.

Nowadays, we all love the intensity

but it seems like we're living in the Ten City.

Ten out of ten, anything less

is considered to be a catastrophic mess.

Is it the media's fault or my own?

There's something inside of us in the zone

where it makes us all want to be more

but every time we get there, it opens another door

only to shut it in our face and scream,

"Haha! You thought you could achieve your dream

by just walking into a doorway slowly?"

Trust me, inside I sure ain't holy.

I'm just a big mess, a concoction of hate.

How are we supposed to live our lives in this state?

I'm working hard, working harder, working hardest.

Then all of a sudden, I fall down the hardest.

At the end of the day, well, the hardest

thing for me to do is get up and look hardest.

My emotionless expressions are sometimes the hardest

so I just pick up a pen and let it out. The hardest

poems that I write sometimes take multiple pens.

I'm talking three, four, five if not more than tens.

I write so hard that it just goes "snap!"

I throw it down onto the ground and I slap

whatever I was working on before.

Pick it up, pull back, throw it out the door.

I'm tired of being at the top of the list

for pity-parties. Now it seems that I've missed

so many opportunities for myself.

Putting on shows like this from my shelf.

They're all throwing roses up towards me,

so many that the only thing I can see

is the really bright color of them all, just red.

To be honest, I'd rather jump off and be dead.

But I just step back and walk to Ten City.

This is my hometown, even if it is s****y.

Author's Note

I normally don't curse whenever I write, or even say s***, but sometimes I just let it out.
Yeah. What a mess.

"ll never commit suicide
but I also won't step aside.
I'm creating my own ride"
I loved this so much. This is so true for many, many people. It's highly important to know your self-worth in my opinion, I loved when you were taking about having something food in the future. how you get somewhere in life not just waiting for the right time, actually going after it!!

Well david kummer, there's nothing little about the way you write....just free flowing and sometimes I simply just don't where you're going; you do remind me of someone that was a lot of fun; anyway in the end you always pull it together and I like it. Keep writing and thank you so very much. Dale
