How Writing A Poem Can Get You Through Anything

End of the road,
start of the rain,
with hope I'll never be here again.
End of my tether,
start of the noose,
At the edge of the cliff, rocks coming loose.
My bones are shaking,
My body is sore,
I don't know where to turn anymore.
My eyes are weary,
My temples ache,
This is the end, oh for fuck's sake ...
Pull yourself together,
You great big idiot,
Stop thinking your some type of Judas Iscariot.
Get on with your essay,
Get on with your life,
Don't think about her or cause your life strife.
Your stronger than this,
You know this is true,
You know that four is from two and two,
So don't make five
You great big lump,
Don't sit there weeping on your rump.
Get on and roar
Get on and dance,
Put on your rings, then write a romance.
Dance until your sore
You idiotic girl,
Get up and "gie us a twirl"
Remember better times
Remember the good,
Don't let this one time get you into a foul mood.
