Paving stones erect as usual Perpendicular to the road Their tops crowned With pavement Their bodies Kept apart By tears of concrete

My future stood Enticing me, One meme At a time, My success stared. Watching me One meme At a time. My goals wept Watching mem One meme At a time I lol'd
Idle
The idle distraction The active imagination The loud laughter, All these A meme I have forgotten, How to burst Into laughter. How, It feels To wipe tears How it hurts. When, Your ribs Laugh with you.
Stare
I stood up to tackle The keyboard. I fiercely Starred it down. Knowing that My greatness, Was sacrificed For its pleasure.
Blinked
I looked over Wishing for a simple life. I looked through Wishing for a visionary life. I looked over Wishing for a memorable life. I blinked, Because I do not Wish to die.
Survival
I stare at my mom My pen quakes, Creativity abandons me Emotions wash over Am I the best. I stare at my mom My eyes moisten, Bravado betrays me Selfishness consumes me Am I the kindest. I stare at my mom My heart stops, Logic fails me Procrastination wakes me Am I the keenest.
Headline
I knew better, a headline taught me I hated intensely, a headline taught me I cliche furiously, a headline taught me I argued loudly, a headline fed me I became superior, a headline lifted me The story? Oh, too boring.

The country stood up Cracked its back Flexed its fingers The yoke was off.
Mush
His mind trapped His words drowned His instinct paralysed All that he had Were his eyes. He watched the world His trapped pysche, Rampaged Ravaged Turned them To mush.
