Universally Happy

Foreword

It has been a while!

In September of 2019, I started university. I don't intend to sound melodramatic or sappy, but I can't say this without sounding it; I am so much happier than I have ever been before. 

 

Which means, sadly, that I haven't really been writing much (for fun that is)!

 

I just wanted to log on here to post some little scraps I have been working on in the past few months. So without any more rambling, here we go! :)

Sonnets are Stupid

A fourteen-line poem

How original of thee

But Shakespearean language

Is wasted on me

You beg and you plead

For my heart on a platter

But thou fails to see

That it's going to shatter

Don't come too close

For I will not let you in

Don't ask for the key

This, you can never win

So try again tomorrow, and see how far you get

I assure you, I'm not your newest Juliet.

Clocks for Comfort

I take comfort in the fact that

It's quarter to three somewhere

 

That way, there is always a place

For you to reside in the thoughts I lay bare

 

Nothing feels as real

As the hands that whirl endlessly around

 

But I long for just a single hand

To pull me back down to the ground. 

 

Wake me up, and break me up

I really need it to be ten past five

 

Because when all's said and done

It's been a good run

 

But you no longer make me feel alive.
