Penny Poor

img_0.5649442223749609.jpg

I ain't cheap
A penny loser
Petty and low
I'm just poor
Falling on hard times
If only in my mind
Empty and lonely
I have nothing
But what's in my hands
A firm grip
On the reality of the moment
And how fleeting it is
I'm slipping
Maybe I am poor
And I just don't know it
Already penniless
Empty and void
Not really lonely
Having never known
Companionship
How can I miss what I never had?

Just rip it out.
Extract it from me.
The somber words
The lacking rhymes
The mess of thoughts
Tumbling from me
All congealed
Coagulated
A mess
A heap
A smelly festering stew
Of resentment
Because I believe everyone
To be
Happier than me.

Very nice poem, I loved it, but don't feel that way, sometimes with little we do a lot, thanks for sharing.
