And The Others

I’m not a real writer, I’m a make believe fraud

I grasp to make rhymes, like a wordsmithing god

I take too many liberties and expect you to comment

Falling deeply in love with my word mingled, vomit

Some days I am lucky, and I write it all down

The lyrical treasures. I pick up off the ground

And some days I lie here, tucked warmly in bed

Racking my brain for something I’ve never said

And that would be hard, cause I talk all the time

Spit it all out, tie it up with a rhyme

Scurry to upsplash, to find me a picture

Title and submit it as my insomniac feature

So, please kindly smile, and move on to the talent

The ones writing gold, for the next Vocal challenge

    I hate that you feel this way! 😩❤️ I write a lot too (but I guess I delete a lot of things because I feel like my midnight ramblings are too dark for my vocal page lol)

  • My friend, in our eyes & hearts you are not merely gold. You're platinum if not even better. It does remind me of a joke I once read (okay, I read it more than once) in a book of called something like "World's Worst Jokes" some friends gave me for my birthday long, long ago. Sally: Mommy! Mommy! Timmy just threw up in the bathroom. Mommy: So why are you crying? Sally: Because Tommy's getting all the big chunks. And now I believe I may be sick.
