PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I want to make a nice poem just for a change

One that is not freakish, all twisted and deranged

I would like to produce good literature

that seems to be fully mature

Something written that sounds quite professional

Not one filled with all of my dark confessionals

I wanna make a pretty thing

That makes everyone smile

But for this so very long while

All I ever accomplish in writing is simply vile

I always work my hardest to try to impress

But all that really happens is that I make you depressed

I would love to write nicely about unicorns and faeries

Bright colours, and sunshine, and freshly ripened cherries

But I can't shake that rainbows need rain to grow

All I can seem to be is as cold as fallen snow

My dark and gloomy brain won't let me say

That all I really wish for is to laugh today

So I share my whiny stories because that's all that I can

When it comes to getting happy, I need a better plan

My cheeriness always plots to run away

The mirth wouldn't remain if I begged it to stay

So maybe someday I can finally write happily

If I can stop this damned angst from getting the best of me
