draw me a life

I should be happy

bills paid, lil money in the bank

but I don’t feel like I’m living.

existing, yes

universe, do you need a pencil sharpener?

why

we take pills to heal

we breath to stay alive

we fuck to make babies

or make love, same diff

we stay in relationships

we are inauthentic to be liked

we know wrong but do it anyway

see the title of this poem.

didn’t

full length mirror

gotta do better

didn’t like what I saw

feeling raw.

chill

Fast forward to when I have peace

the least of my problems

is fear

no dear, I don’t want the trauma

of overthinking, situations

that’ll never happen.

I wanna let it go

I wanna just be like the title.

mystery theatre

come one come all

we are about to have a ball

love who you want

wear what makes you feel good

here it’s all about you feeling good

open the curtain

the show has started now

hopefully when you’re old and tired

then take a bow.

Change Masters

you know when you feel different

look different and hope different

life’s not a joke and you hope

that change will come?

you master the everyday

hoping not to blow away

this is me

and I think

God, show me how good it can get!

some days bad

these days blend together

most of them not good

is it my chosen path

or where I want to go

i don’t know

©️MarcusCaesar

end of days

the days can be long

the feelings can be treacherous

but at the end, you lived.

Night Shift pt 1

Aśe

letting myself down

looking up

after being down so long

get off the phone

only comparisons lurk

when will I learn?
