• you'd think by now

    i'd know what to say

    how to say it

    but truly i am more clueless now than before

    so i'm not even going to try

    to put my poetry to rhythmic form

    or bother putting meaning to my words

    because here i stand

    not tall nor strong

    to exposed and not enough

    confused on almost everything

    not knowing how to express myself

    not remembering what i want

    or getting up to do what i was going to

    so why bother?

    i see no reason to
