I Wrote a Sad Book

Poem by: Austin Converse
Paper and ink
The only tools that help me think
Hoping it all gets better
While I try to keep down my last alcoholic drink
As I write to express what's on my mind
I still wonder if it's a waste of time
But lets put it like this
I want to write something
that isn't intense
So I sit back and think about what to write
Now you know what's keeping me up all night
thanks to the headache I must fight
Jotting down words
takes real might
I go to the bathroom
look in the mirror
turns out my image is not any clearer
but not writing a story
is the worst of my fears
I promised my parents
I would be more successful
now as I think about it
I just feel more resentful
The bumps in my path
are way more plentiful
there coming up way to fast
I'll leave it at that
As I walk out of the bathroom
and return back to my desk
I come to a drawing conclusion
"I just need some rest"
As I wake up in morning
with bad breath and a hangover
ideas come to mind
as I try to get up but roll over
I write down my plot
and go to ask my friend about his thoughts
"Is it good or is it not?"
I ask and he nods
Months later the book is finished
for the first time in awhile
I feel replenished
but I still sit there and wonder
"Will people like what's in it"
killing and suffering
"Anyone interested?"
I have yet to overlook
I wrote a sad book
Hey guys:) I've been so busy writing
Revelance that I haven't been writing poems
as often as I would like to.
This poem is not as good as I wanted it to be
but I want you guys to tell me what you think
HAha, that rhymed ^^^^
