Dog Days Poem by Sheldon Carruthers

An ocean of fears oh would that I care
I'm too afraid to cry too lazy to die
I could if I would
I would that I could
I should not that I would not
Bare faced lies I despise
But I am the liar and I am the crook
I'm sick of my lies they belong in a book
I look down at my abyss the ocean of fear, nobody to kiss me, miss me or care
The darkness inside me grows darker
Each day the ocean of fear gets ever deeper my life disarrayed
I pray for the light but it never stays
I wonder why I'm here or if I'll get laid
An in-actionable truth a regrettable thought a bully for a friend I hope the real culprit gets caught
The sorcerers apprentice a Jedi knight
The fight for good and evil goes on and on but why all the strife
Im feeling subdued now I've not got a lot left to say so I'll say my goodbyes now and wish you on your way
