When I Feel Like A Season

It's Time To Change The Calendar

I look like February

and sometimes feel like trash

I wish my vocabulary

could make summertime last

If we can't get along

insert your own joy

Create a happy song

that we all can enjoy

You call me an asshole

say, that I'm hard to love

But the contents of my soul

is a place you can't touch

I'd call mom for her help

but she's changed her address

Between heaven or hell

a true work in progress

She always knew, just what to say

helped me find a way to undo

And I wish, everyday

when I called, it would actually go through

Cause sometimes what I need

is to just hear her voice

Someone who truly loves me

says, I made the right choice

But for now, February

will have to do

Till my extraordinary

order finally comes through

sad poetry

    Gives readers something to think about and wish for.

  • This was a very emotional poem! Beautifully written!

  • Reading this makes me think of "If Ever I Would Leave You" from "Camelot". Whatever the season, I cannot help but think that your ex is miserable with regret for his faithlessness.
