Life After Dark Poem by francis e.rudy

I'm running out of paper
and i still have so much to say

i'm running round with myself
trying to make sense of it all

i wish i was smart enough
to put it all down in 10 letter words

these 4 letter ones
are hard to put any thought into

most times it's the words,
they know

they're sure of their meaning
that stands out

it still doesn't even out
to express a million dollar idea

with 4 letter words

its like taking a trip
on a sinking ship

it sure was a good tour
untill the end

it depends if you only got on
or are fighting to get off

while trying to get a thought across
you can surely get lost

good writers can get it across
in a few words

an art sorely
lost on me

someday i'll get it right
says i

learn to say good night
without saying goodbye
