MEMORIES

THE NEWS

I am hearing the talk that is spread

like the News, and it's all about me;

all of it is driving myself mad

In all this drama that makes a crash

where I have to fight back the trash

I need movement

I need action

because I am human not a character

of some wild story.

I am a person that breathes, eat, and sleep

writing out all those dreams in my head

I jumping up and down

but I am not the town clown

that everyone wants to crown.

I will lose things and find them

I sleep and dreams

I hear all those screams

in order to gain something new.

I can't keep all of this in my mind

so I have to sit and write

my arms are sore and my body feels bruised

because I have been fighting with you

I only need for this ink to bleed

for the whole world to read

what it is I see

I will keep

what is enough and never more?
