Life is handing out straws <br />Why does mine always seem like the shortest <br />I try to jot down, what is most important <br />Note that, Note this. <br />But the fact is, words without action <br />Is packin nothin but talk <br />That's about withstanding as chalk <br />So if I can't always make sense of it all <br />At least give me the strength to stand up when I fall <br />Then one day, I was told to lose myself <br />Till one day, I actually did- <br />And that shit didn't help. <br />But no one ever noticed it one bit <br />To everyone, I was the exact same kid <br />But really, on the inside I was on a slope about to skid <br />So tell me, please, am I to freeze? <br />Or am I just to melt? <br />Please just let something happen <br />Cause right now all I do is yelp for help <br />To no evale <br />I'm like a falling tree in the forest <br />When no one is around <br />Shit, quick, here comes the chorus <br />My words are said. <br />But did I even make a sound?<br /><br />Jared Bradford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fallen-tree-3/
