joseph beltran Poems

with the light to my left
and a beer to the right
i got a small box to let my figers dance
dance dance in drunken harmony.
...

come on,
i didnt walk around
thinking everything could happen
even if i did try my hardest.
...

wasted is nice.
wasted is something we should live.
live to escape all those who cant
make the right choices.
...

'i guess it's easier said then done'?
yeah f-ing right!
take action
have heart
...

theres no hiding it.
you cant see through them anyways.
but i only wear the mask's over my face.
...

nah.
I've given all i could.
this is personal.
a war within
...

shut up?
k.
what did you expect?
dont be afraid when i grow brave.
...

not me.
every word i see
i feel validated.
and with every drink
...

tensions rose
i go into the hiding
deep in the cans,
well beneath the shadows
...

From tuck beds
and the tired minds.
The stars will fade
with each passing drive
...
