  • April Resolutions

    I feel like that child again, I’ve been living aimlessly just waiting for that smile again,

    Tell me you’ll come down again, I told myself it’s easy, but the mirror caught my frown again,

    Struggling to keep my head on anything but down again,

    New Year’s comes around and you say I won’t play around again, but I’ve played around again,

    Lately I’ve been drowning in, screams without the sound of it,

    Maybe I’m okay, but maybe I’m going to need some counseling,

    I put all my hours in, I took all my showers and I wind up getting showered in,

    Trust me, I am powerless, I put all my might in to this world and it devoured it,

    But April has given me life, once a large frown into a beautiful smile,

    Without your struggles you would sit back, and who’s to provide?

    Usually I cry poetry, until the music subsides, hungry on my couch waiting for my order to arrive,

    Although it’s hard, it’s really good to be alive,

    I love to be above, but I’d love to be beside, my partner in crime,

    My partner is I, to the one that I speak of, it’s going to be fine,

    I’m the diamond in the rough before the shine, light hasn’t reached me yet, it’s just a matter of time.
