Entry #3

Entry #3

A Chapter by Mark Alexander Boehm

Like the ocean 

I can be deep

Or I can be shallow

No one's stereotype

I'm not hollow 

Not a blank canvas 

For you to paint 

Not a bad boy

Trying to be a saint 

Not a good boy 

With a reputation to taint 

I'm up and down

Sure I've been around

Does that make me a w***e 

Not like I'm trying to score 

Listen, all this hot and cold 

Has my mind all scrambled 

Gotta learn to be bold 

Look, I want that

But I also don't wanna stop this 

Purgatory for eternity 

Playing limbo till I break free 

Fabulous clothes 

Butt naked 

Or in sweats 

I'm still the same underneath 

What's the point in oxygen

If I don't remember to breathe 

Rumbling volcano ready to blow

Stifled from the inside 

So I'll just sit and seethe
