ceilings are hard to see in the dark, but so are lifes problems

I'm just starring at my ceiling
It has no color
It's so dark in my room
But I'd rather not turn on a light

I smell smoke in my room
I looked it up
It may be a spirt if some sort
Or just my smell may be weird

Most poetry rhymes to some degree
But that takes a lot of time
And honestly I just too lazy
To do anything but stare

To me most poetry is cliche
When you rhyme it sounds stupid
Less serious in many ways
Never giving the statement I wish

Sometimes I wish to be a different person
So many around me I think have it better
But I need to remember everyone had problems
Everyone goes through shit of their own

Life's just weird
It sucks, but I hate saying that
I sound like every basic teen
And yet again I'm pushed into a box

Yesterday all my problems seemed so far away
Yes I just quoted a Beatles song
And no I don't care what you think
It just feels right to think of right now

Music speaks to me and others
I love it so much
Honestly I love art in general
Which includes writing

Like I said shit happens to all of us
That's why a lot of us go to art
That why I go to poetry
That's why I decide to write

And that's why I stare at the ceiling
On this January morning
Or shall I say night
Whatever I'm going back to sleep
