weak words

My rage stays clenched, unquenched in my fists

Like a river running past dead undrenched lips

I can tell that my grip is starting to slip

I need a shield or a savior or I am going to flip

I should have learned long ago

I would’ve been stronger I know

But I can’t stop this feeling

That success is stealing

the rich keep greeding

and living leaves my heart out bleeding

but I can’t stop seeing

that faraway light I fight to hold tight because it keeps me right

but sometimes I find the

passion that drives me

turns to evil inside me

and if this is a test

I guess I failed it more than the rest

so I invest my time into what I know best

and I rage on this page to express the stress

and even though it feels like the devil blowing up in my chest

all I’m seeking is a little rest, no more no less

Five Minute Mind Dino Dudel

I like this idea. I'm trying to like more things. POSITIVITY!!! That's a desperate man's word if there ever was one. Positive attitudes are a floatation device in the ocean of existance. METAPHOR! right? without like or as? who gives a shit. Do you think Dinoauars knew they were awesome? Probably not. I wonder if triceratops ever had any self-doubts? They're just giant lizards, probably not capable of complex emotions right? But still Trex had to have known he was the shit back in his time right? After a fresh kill, standing over his defeated enemy (a self-doubting triceratops?) just thinking "damn, I am a bad ass." But probably not, probably just thinking, "HUNGRY!!! ANGRY!!!

5 MINUTES GOES BY QUICK!!" I don't know what this is, but it was fun thanks.
