Burning

I wish I could find
My creative side;
yet, once again it
falls to the wayside

Much like the cigarette ashes do
as I drift off,
burning holes into my favorite t-shirts
before I have a chance to
extinguish the embers.

I'm fine though, thanks for asking
I managed to only
break Mother's favorite glass bowl
cutting my fingers, but
I'm fine
There's no need to worry, after all,

I am here, writing
Trying to catch my own fall,
even though I may be too late
to extinguish my own flames.

Though, I am trying not to
burn holes or break
anyone's favorite things.
