Bad music good music
There’s a song somewhere
It’s in the underside of me
Does it even matter if
I’m the only one to see
Watered down liquor license
to some minor difficulty
But I can’t hear it
too much swimming in this mind
too much of another kind
I think the world would stop spinning
if every tortured soul
would get the one wish
that he or she deserved
I’d stop trying
stop buying
another round for my friends
The ones that will often listen
and leave me in the end

Hello Walter

Your words were certainly moving and really made me think.  I enjoyed reading your words.

Take care.......Sue

Walt, you always twist my mind like a rubberband.  Thank goodness you let it unwind at the end

Not to worry, walt... mine's never gonna happen. *S*

Seriously, I really like this poem and its edge... well written!
