Let's play the trust game

thefunkyfresh by thefunkyfresh · Sep 20, 2004 · 368 views · Journal

one second it makes me crazy
and the next i don't care
but the deeper i go the clearer i see
i have to keep my perspective
and bear in mind that no fall is catostrophic
i have to be the one to go out on a limb
as you watch me from the shade
it isn't fair
because I've shown my hand
and you've just shown me air
i know you promised not to make promises
but you're worth selling out for
so I'll have to close my eyes and let go
because you said it was safe
please don't let me hit the ground
catch me falling backwards, I trust you

I feel I must interject here
You're getting carried away
feeling sorry for yourself
with these revisions
and gaps in history
So let me help you remember
I've made charts and graphs
that should finally make it clear
I've prepared a lecture
on why I have to leave
So walk away and let me go

very nice, I've liked some of the other things you've written in here (including your rap one)

suchgr8heights #1.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

aww thanx ;) I dig what you've done here. Good stuff. I have trouble writing poetry, I tend to have a more essay-oriented mind.

and thats why these words are NOT mine...just good lyrics usefully applied.

Seriously tai, if hilarity was measured in poop, you'd be that big pile of triceratops dung from jurassic park. That is only if they measured it that way...

okay, for some reason people have gotten the idea in their heads that this is a forum for their incompetent ramblings. you're supposed to rave at my poetic abilities, comment on how deep and tormented i am, and then GET OUT!!!

suchgr8heights #5.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

oh, you are so emo it hurts! eat a carrot.

originalsnob #5.2 originalsnobOG 2004

Glad you actually said this cause I didn't know what to say. IT'S HOT! Depth created through good imagery. Nice mood set.

yay #8 yayOG 2004

you eat and eat all that you can,

you won't catch me because fast i ran

She lost her sons for 12 years
when they met again they were strangers in tears
made up for lost time they tried
but all they did, they cried
how can you bear being apart for so long
in your head plays the same ol' song
'it's time for the percolator, it's time for the percolator'

I'm sitting here pondering what things would be like

if things were different yet all the same.

it's seems so right and so wrong all at once, but

I'm sitting here wishing that

things would be different yet all the same.

I'm sitting here hating that

things are not different yet all the same.

fivezero #11 fivezeroOG 2003

sell out with me, oh yeah! sell out with me tonight! matt kelly is gonna write emo poetry and nothing will ever be all right! bah bah, bah-na-na!

thefunkyfresh #11.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

fivezero #11.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

Oh, I do. I just liked the "sell out" line. I appreciate your words, man.

hunkpapap #12 hunkpapapOG 2003

Matt the fan club approves. We've all been there. When do we all get to hear it set to music. Cuz if this is straight poetry it's gay...

I once had a nickel
so i went and bought two pickles
i used them to tickle
all those who are fickle
nothing like pickle juice all over your love handles.
