in a world full of colour,
i am a blank canvas.

teacher sent me to the doctor's office
teacher sent me home
teacher sent me to the place
where all the foul things roam

teacher gave me tic-tacs
to swallow when i'm sad
teacher said the chemicals
will make me sorta mad

teacher dries my eyes up
with platitudes enough
to even console all the kids who
are made of smarter stuff

teacher says confusion
is not a cause for shame
i'm not quite sure what teacher means
but i listen all the same

teacher treading tip-toed
lowering the tone:
"i'll help you with the theory here
but you'll practice on your own."

Don't you have something better to do?
I mean come on now!
Really!
Another post?

I'm sure your floor needs sweeping
And
There's a pile of clothes at the end of your bed
Your under arms are a bit stinky
Brush your teeth and comb your head!

My goodness...
There's a forest growing
Where your lawn used to be!
And the oil light is on
In your 2003
Ya, time to get a new Jeep

This week's ***** dishes have grown green
The trashcan smells like rotten meat
The world stands still awaiting your care...
And here you are
Wasting away with me right here!

Well at times I hold my pen
And try to compose a poem
At times I lack the motivation
Something essential in all I do
At times I lack something to say
I lack something to share
But then again I remember something
That whatever comes from me is perfect
Even my silence,lack of words and motivation
Even my mistakes, flaws and issues
For what is tomorrow for, if not for a better today
And what is life for, if not to bring meaning to other people's lives too
