Everything‘s Poetic

By David N. Donihue

This is the most depressed I’ve ever been

Except for maybe the last time

that was the most depressed I’ve ever been

And definitely the more than the first time

that was the most depression I’ve ever

My fault I sorta fucked up again

Owned by crutches

Loved the wrong people

Then left for dead

Hollowed by their evils

My God, life was supposed to be

F—ing meaningful

Yet everything‘s poetic

When you’re a romantic inside

Everything’s poetic

Just reframe the world in the mind

Everything’s poetic

When you’re desperate to love life

After being kicked in the groin

Thrown out of the tribe

Everything’s poetic

When you choose the empath’s ride

Feeling others pain

Removes anger from the stride

A new rhythm obvious

Isolated words now rhyme

Yelling captain, my captain

On the desk right at 9

Rain on pavement

Hopeful statements

Grouchy elders

Fucked up faces

Withered flowers

Untied laces

Stumbling forward

With God’s graces

Shattered windows

Tattered héros

Feel at one

With all the zeros

Everything’s poetic

When you choose the empaths ride

Everything’s poetic

When you’re honest inside

Nothing can hurt you

When pain is part of painting

The story of mankind

Everythings poetic

The hurting

And the healers

And the homos

And the breeders

The hooligans

And tweakers

The upright-loving thinkers

The well-intended preachers

The broke with pricey sneakers

Life becomes kinetic when you love all those creatures

At what point will we be ill instead of f—ing sick

I know you’ve swam through feces yet you’ve emerged the s—

Your face just says poetic with every added line

No matter the terror you’ve lived

You’re the beauty of f—- life

Everything’s poetic when you choose the empath’s ride

Everything’s poetiic when you’re honest inside

Everything’s poetic when you’re desperate to love life

After being kicked in the grown

Thrown out of the tribe

Everything’s poetic when you choose the empath’s ride

Feeling other’s pain removes anger from the stride

A new rhythm obvious

Isolated words now rhyme

Yelling captain my captain

Whenever you cross my mind
