#waste poems on Hello Poetry

Alan S Bailey Jan 2016

I wish I was a good poet
I wish I was a good musician
I wish I could make good tasting food
I wish I was the life of the party
I wish I could be so very enlightened
I wish I had a home I could count on
I wish I had a future to dream about
I wish I knew art and literature
I wish I was good at cleaning
I wish I could actually play a sport
I wish I could be a great entertainer
I wish I had a beautiful face like a movie star
I wish I could be a sturdy shoulder for leaning

*All of these things mentioned here are my "strengths,"
I guess this New Years I wish I could do something right
For once, like you guys, at any means, any time, any length.

Rouge

We waste expensive lipstick
On cigarette butts
That are thrown out the window
And somehow ignore
That we do the same
With our lovers

I'm Not Hungry

For me to be alive I must eat.
For me to eat, things have to die,
And for what?--
An existence I can't even justify.

Waste of Energy

If only you knew
How many of both my loving and aching poems
Were written because of you.

This is Goodbye (POV Piece)

I'll be forgotten in time.
No matter how hard I try,
I'll be a wasted life.
So this is my goodbye.
Wake me when I
have no need to cry.
Cause I'm too tired to try
I am a wasted life
So this is my goodbye

I tried stepping into your shoes, and seeing how you might feel... I don't mean to be harsh, these are song lyrics but I hope I atleast somewhat understand where you stand...

Title ideas?

I'm Not Fine

She was like a fine wine*

Too bad it spilled down the
Kitchen sink,
along with
A handful of pills from her
Mothers medicine cabinet

If she was a fine wine,
Why did they drink her like
Cheap *****?

*And smashed the bottle
Against their exes windshield

Pointless Poetry

I used to write for a reason
Now I just write to strew useless words
Information no one will probably ever
Read, my voice never again ever heard.

Who cares, these aren't hits, they're sh#@$. I give up, I'll just write for myself from here on out, I'm my own best waste of time anyway.
