Day 3: Tired of… Poem

Tired of your know-it-all, nerdy reputation,
Will you try to be a different one?
One that looks for any hot-chick’s sensual elation,
That much needed when you want to ride on with the gang?

Will you try it many times,
Every time believing you’ll succeed?
Every time you reach to what you need,
Will you find you change your mind?

What other people have is their own, not fitting you.
My love, you’ll know your own,
Of course, you doubt it now, I know.
And doubt’s what makes us free to choose our path.

Walk blind and try to make your math.
Wondering about the aftermath.

Tired

If you have no one to talk to, poem. When you see no one is listening to you, write. Well, that seems like a good choice for today.

So tired of being hassled around,
so sick of the vagueness I swim through,
I am.

Yet, I cannot detach from everyday
and everyday won’t get off me,
won’t get me unhooked
from the tearsome and tearful
everyday somethingness
that I cannot define
or shape within that frame
that shifts in shape
and location
and intensity
or depth
and strangles me
or suffocates me
or simply makes me
feel
all the more
tired.
