Turtle

By CassieJoeB

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Even when Im standing still The entire world is tilted down Sliding into chaos heard- Me screaming out that sacred sound I didn’t even hear my words I danced on tables in my head Almost crashed a thousand times But never fell down like they said My mind doesn’t work so easy It takes a little time to cry I live inside those big closed doors And kissed my liveliness goodbye Slow and steady wins the race Give the turtle fucking speed As fast as life can take me through Im game to pay the travel fee Around we go on my last spin Lets take a walk through the wall Unlikely doesn’t make any sense And I cant wait until I fall Goodbye to all your fucking eyes Watch what Im about to do Helped me all you ever could So I died because of you Written April 14th, 2002 © on Apr 14 2002 01:52 PM PST   18 • 0 • 9
