others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

mr cute guy

hey Mr cute guy get out of my head
stop! you are making me go all red
why are you so damn good looking
forget prince, you are fit to be king

did you have to be so smart too?
now i can't get my mind off you
so unassuming and so darn cute
whenever i look at you i go mute

just when i had given up on guys
you had to come and make my heart beat rise
hey mr cute guy stop invading my thought
isn't it enough that you've conquered my heart?

in class today

a subject too close for comfort
the truth that i tried so hard to avoid
was thrust upon me in class today
the feelings i tried so hard to hide
the tears i buried deep inside
were breached in class today
the looks of pity i didn't want to receive
and the helpless faces i didn't want to see
englufed me in class today
the part of me that i didn't want to reveal
the wound inside that just won't heal
was cut open in class today

the thoughts i fear the most
put in the medium so dear to me
just the thing i didn't want to happen
my soul was stripped in class today
