my fear of failure, my fear of shame
I'm controlled by fear like moth to flame
I fear I'm condemned to take the blame

I think I feel my bleeding heart rot
at the end I ask what have I got
at the end I ask what have I wrought

internal cuts leave internal scars
I watch the world as if behind bars
where I write these unmanly memoirs

The temperature is hot, I'm cold.
I'm needy as a newborn, I'm old.
Provide a better option, I'm sold.

If someone adores my poems, I'm glad.
If someone prefers to fight, I'm sad.
If someone hates our country, I'm mad.

If you love me for a laugh, I'll cry.
If you stretch out a hand, I'll try.
If you offer me your heart, I'll buy.

How about something a little more uplifting?

at winter's end I can't help but sing
for the world's happiest in the spring
this I know as well as anything

in springtime I'll awake before dawn
my legs shakey as a newborn fawn
with hair a mess and my face long drawn

Then I feel a breeze swirl around me
I ascend like a white dove set free
soaring overhead it's her I see

My mother taught me to love and be loved,
My father taught me to hurt and be hurt,
My uncle taught me to touch and be touched,
My dad's friends taught me to cuss and be curt.
My mom's friends taught me to lust and seduce,
Richard Simmons taught me how to reduce.

Perceiving inwards, non-surficially,
Imagine something like a single dot,
It may be difficult initially,
With practice comes control over the blot.

The poet I revere the most, Shakespeare,
Forever knight but never once knighted,
Whatever the specifics are, it's clear,
Into his world, we're always invited.

My intention for tonight is to drink,
Have fun with my dear friends and family,
Not to get soused, but take it to the brink,
Then go home to avoid calamity.

A hallway entrance makes a handsome face,
Provides newly invited guests hope,
A sheltering abode of class and grace,
A home of seemingly enormous scope.

My flesh lies on the grave of my mattress,
I think death might not be much different,
Existence has become claustrophobic,
My skills are being still and of slight breath,
I avoid many things I want,
I guess I've been dead for a long time,
Maybe my whole life's been mere practice.

In time's wonder, does a drink help me think,
Is alcohol a schoolboy's wishful dream,
My animal intensified uplink,
My words, an excuse disguised as a theme.

When Longfellow wrote down something mellow,
A bit of good booze may have helped him lose,
Neurosis allowing him to bellow,
Which heightened or relieved him from the blues.

All I realize is that I'm snockered,
And getting snockered-er with every word,
Dear friend, my monitor is growing burred,
Now even my typing is getting slurred.

So, all in all, at last, I think I've found,
One way I should never try to expound.
