Dale Mouscos Poems

I'm getting much older, it's getting so clear,
At least by now I thought I'd have a career.
I was doing so well at one point in time,
I kept myself safe and away from most crime.
...

When things are good, they really are great,
You get so excited that you don't want to wait.
Everything seems to be going your way,
You cannot imagine the very next day.
...

So I'm sitting at home just waiting around,
If the doorbell rings, I'll hear that sound.
Maybe he'll think a surprise would be nice,
Maybe he won't cause he needs advice.
...

Dad, I'm a failure, I couldn't make it right,
The drugs and our differences are making us fight.
I tried to warn her like you did for me,
But no matter what I do, she refuses to see.
...

It's mind over matter I think we all know,
But who is to say how far that will go.
When things are repeatedly engraved in your head,
It's hard to control how your mind is mislead.
...

I can not explain myself very well,
But from the feedback I'm getting, it is not hard to tell.
Your mind is biasing negative conversation,
Cause for everything I do, you refuse confirmation.
...

When you were sick, I helped you get well,
I got you to school before hearing the bell.
I lent you my clothes when you had nothing to wear,
And I made you feel better by doing your hair.
...

In response to your opinion, as I cannot let it slide,
The truth is stuck between us, but at least I never lied.
The severity of your choices have broken us apart,
Did you ever think that I didn't have a heart?
...

I can not stand to see you hurt,
If it makes you feel better you can borrow my shirt.
You're a wonderful person inside and out,
But the way that you're feeling, what's that all about?
...
