12 Corona's and No Sleep

As good as its going to get...

12 Corona's and No Sleep

Why waste my time reinventing a wheel

So my words and song you can slowly steal

My love of life will you continue to ignore

My feelings be pressed my thoughts are sore

My lyrics my notes a heartfelt song to a sheet

Reaching the ears to the ones taunting defeat

Not understanding the power of my own heart

Leave me stranded, alone and torn sadly apart

It wasn't my ship I commanded and I sailed

Yet the crew of the boat shouted I have failed

I didn't clean the decks and didn't give it more

I didn't devote all that I am that which I swore

I didn't fold the sails or hoisted the big boom

I didn't color the port side and left it in gloom

I didn't swab the decks to your expectations

Just heard you call out with discrimination's

You sit and wonder why I write what I feel

When your accusations are done with zeal

I'm left with nothing to show for my feelings

Just done and empty there are no ceilings

"You sit and wonder why I write what I feel

A wild ride in the words. Left me needing more answers than questions. Drinking 12 Corona's and No Sleep can make us think we are Hemingway. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
