Poem

Should I submit this to the Auburn Circle? And if so, what tweaks do you guys recommend?


Another wasted day of another wasted life
The irony of hope wasted on dreams
Sinking into despair like water down
The Toilet of Life

The roller coaster crashed and now
I'm just following the tracks as they go
Up and down, up and down
Wasting time wasting time

Languages I don't understand
Singing into my ears, ears that don't want
To hear, Eyes unseeing, Mouth that was wasted
On words that shouldn't have been said

Another wasted life tossed upon the heap
Calling Save me to the sky ere arms fall in exhaustion
Bite me, the heavens say. You can't get anything right
We gave up on you long ago, Little Wasted Life.

So I ride the roller coaster, going downhill
Down a corkscrew in the Toilet
I damn the heavens, I damn Life. I damn
the pebble in my shoe.

Till the flush is finished,
The roller coaster ends, And I
Take comfort that I've
Damned myself cursed myself from the beginning.
