AUDACIOUS.

(a cliché in horizontal poetry)

The return of the lack

The beginning of the end

The truth in the light of day

The secrets in the dark of night

The silly

The snorted

The audacity you've shown me

The childlike version of your story

your glory

Your beauty

Love gone wrong

but still on

(at least in song)

Get it in writing

Or it doesn't exist

Ha! So you think

You don't stink

Like I do

While I stew

While I jerk

While I smile

While I work

While I die

While I fly

While I question

And wonder why.

You can't always get what u want.

You can't always know when you're acting like a jerk-ass.

You can't help who you are

And what you do

We're all animals

Sharing the sun

Missing opportunities

Frustrated rhythms

Among yet alone

No real place to go home.

Still I exist

Still I smile

Still I find time

To get on the grind

To party and joke

To complain and be quiet

Enjoy the dark and the moody.

Enjoy?

"Enjoy" she said.
