In All Sincerity ~ Tuesday, 3 December 2019

I never wanted to be a poet, 

never wanted to write poetry, 
ever aware of the lack of success, 
v is for victory ... and poverty, 
ever aware of the lack of money, 
really, I just wanted to write lyrics, 

wanted to write lyrics for my band, 
and all I could ever write were poems, 
nothing but disappointment in this life, 
to play the drums, be a rock 'n' roll star, 
ever aware of the lack of support, 
did anyone else ever give a shit? 

to have a calling, a vocation, 
only if it were as a surgeon, 

believe me, waking up with a poem 
everyone knows no one will read, to sleep 

and dream I were not forever stuck, 

pity the poor fool who loves poetry, 
only dreamers get lost on the path, 
ever aware of the lack of guidance, 
trapped in a miserable life with this gift.
