My Knees Buckle,

My knees buckle,

My mind, it bends

My mouth stumbles

Over the words it borrows

From others with less sorrows

Life is art

Art is beauty

Others are modeled

Life adds to them

Builds up their beauty

I’m carved by life

It takes and takes and takes

I’m art

I’m beauty

That eventually disappears

Because life has taken too much

Thoughts run around in your head

Like trying to win a marathon

You want to listen to what is said

Try to pause and halt for some

But you’re distracted

And then they’re gone

Wastefulness

I don’t

know

I don’t know

how to stop

Stop the tears from falling

Stop the fears from showing

Stop a life from being wasted

Please stop me

Stop me from wasting my life

Stop wasting a life on me
