Not Ready To Dance Poem by Warren Augustus de Guzman

fickle fuddled mind bent on the curve
drunken dizzied emotions a stir
nervous and wrecked, wracked on the tabs,
broke and broken, and bleeding from stabs.

itchy skin writhing with panicked pain,
muffled misery clouding the brain,
shoes are worn out, and toes are blistered
throat is numb, from screaming censored.

dumb and dumbfounded, all sense is lost,
caked and confused, at what this all cost.
i'm worried and wary, my hands are shaking,
eyes are bloated, bleeding while crying.

it doesn't matter, nothing else does.
you'll get your way no matter the cost.
i'm bleeding and broken from all your stabs,
but you don't have to worry i'm not keeping tabs.

dumb and dumbfounded, all sense is lost,
caked and confused at what this all cost.
i'm worried and wary my hands are shaking,
eyes are bloated, bleeding while crying.

i'll cry all i want, you don't seem to mind,
you've got it in your head that i'm wasting my time.
muffled misery clouding the brain,
itchy skin writhing with panicked pain.

shoes are worn out, and toes are blistered,
throat is numb, from screaming censored.
i won't scream no more, they fall on deaf ears,
i'll just sing my song and hope that you hear.

i'll sing all i want, you don't seem to mind,
you've got it in your head that i'm wasting my time.
it doesn't matter, nothing else does.
you'll get your way no matter the cost.
i'm bleeding and broken from all your stabs,
but you don't have to worry i'm not keeping tabs.
