Sometimes I just want to live in a house with a large garden and pond that has koi fish swimming in it and Lilly pads where frogs sleep. All so I can write poetry whilst sitting beside it

Life just doesn't seem To be the destiny of What I have become Its not like I can take back Or erase the words I wrote How does one erase What is written in the pen Of people like me Held by shaking hands, crying, Or maybe praying to die Am I allowed to use more paper? #poem
