Matt Mondschein Poems

Our cheating, drug use
stealing, screams and lies
We've been screwed up since birth
Wow, what a surprise
...

Another smack
I start to bleed
As a child of ten
Is this what I need
...

A nervous laugh
Then I see you smile
I wonder what your soul has seen
Has it felt love
...

Dreaming
Crying
You're leaving
I'm dying
...

Can you see me scream
Can you hear me bleed
Has the lack of rationale
Negated my need
...

Countless practices
Championship dreams
Takin' these youngsters
through mindfull extremes
...

I still have no identity
Confused
Who I really want to be
If there were a place called
...

My pen feels heavy
My mind marose
A new state of living
Comatose
...

Over fourty years
In the biz
Tending and herding sheep
With a rod iron staff
...

I'm just a toddler of two
How can I trust you?
Will you hurt me again?
Will you find joy
...
