A Mangled Mess of Words That Rhyme and Go Together In time

Stop, don't hurry so much

Don't be in a rush

Close your mouth now, just shush

You talk but quite enough

This road is quite rough

But I'll still face it none-the-less

I'm doing my best

To keep to the task

I will drink from the flask

Then spit it back into your face

Such a disgrace

You make me so sad

Or rather quite mad

I really don't know

It's about time that I go

I need to get out of this place

I'm losing to the clock but it's a race

I'll pull ahead one of these times, I'm sure

I have a sickness with no cure

And I'm bleeding from the mouth

Or rather my hands

I can't make any plans

All I know is I must get out of this town

I am wearing a frown

A smile upside down

I'll just jump in the lake, maybe drown

So you can feel me jump

Hear me hit with a thump

I missed all the water

And I fell on dry land

I am stuck in the sand

Let me die

An angel who can't fly

I don't have any wings

I don't have many things

Just all of my friends

Those to whom I've made amends

I think it's time you save me

Before I go completely crazy

The end

Author's Notes/Comments: 

There is a story hidden within, although I do not expect anyone to really figure it out or even understand in the least bit.  I just wrote from the heart and that is what came of it.  Complete randomness from my every hope and dream and scar and hurt and anger.  This poem is everything.

it's cool..your poems hardly ever rhyme, i really liked it. especially:

I missed all the water
And I fell on dry land
I am stuck in the sand
Let me die
An angel who can't fly

I know you and I know what it means. It's definately everything you've built up inside. You're feeling lost spiritually or emotionally and you're getting out of here, so everything is like this humungous release. Wow, hello dr.phil! lol love ya!
