Rubber Ducky Poetry Hour

Sitting in the window
Watching the rain come down
TIme passing by
So utterly disappointing
Do you ever wonder what is the point of it all?
I wonder how do I cope with the boredom
With the frustration.
With the major let down
Of the every day bullshit
The TV and magazines
Say they have the cure
Which in lieu so say the doctors
Oh I have a pill or two or maybe even three for you
Oh Come on take these lovely pills
You will feel so much better
Almost like wearing rose colored glasses...
Take you pills kind doctor
And shove them where the sun doesn't shine
I have had my fill
Ready to live my life to the fullest
And maybe to learn how to cope with the ups and downs of life
Without chemicals fucking with my brains...
So take these pills and shove it.

Come share your dream with me
Tell me all the ins and outs
Are we on a beach in Bali
Or the Appalachian Mountains

In this dream of yours
Are we on a big ship
Travelling over the waves of the Atlantic
Or maybe the Pacific

In this dream are we like Indiana Jones
Tramping through tropical forests
Coming across rare tribes
And discovering cursed treasures

Come on, lets runaway
Off on a wonderful adventure
I know this is crazy
But hey we only live once!

Oh you did me wrong
An apology or two
Might get your foot back in the door
Of our very fragile friendship

But to be true
An apology is just words
Where actions are always louder
Then the mumbled words from your lips

I am not saying you aren't forgiven
But you have to prove
You didn't mean to be such an asshole
And break our friendship so terribly

I might be so very cliche
With this poem
But if it gets my message across
Then it has served its purpose.

Weather changing again
From Summer to Autumn
Leaves changing
From green to red and gold

Lets start pulling out our jackets
Our gloves and scarves
Time to bundle up
To drink warm cider

I want to sit around a fire
With my love and my dearest friends
Bundled up nursing our warm drinks
Building fun memories

Come my love
Wrap your arms around me
As the night wraps us in its embrace
Lets build these memories together that last a lifetime

Lets pretend that all is fine
That my own insanity
Doesn't make me feel empty
Empty and lonely

I stand in the middle
Of all these people
The room starts to spin
They spin away from me
Leaving me there all alone

Lets pretend that this all makes sense to me
That my emotions work normally
That I make connections with people
Deep and meaningful

I go down this line of people
Reaching out to each as I go by
As I come close they pull away
Leaving me feeling hollow

Here I sit, setting up my medicine tray
A weeks worth of pills
Looks like a month of two for someone else
Is this how it is truly meant to be?

A pill for depression
Then it makes you too happy
So another to bring you down a bit
Because god forbid you smile too much

A mild allergic reaction to those
So another pill to stop the itching
Which increases my anxiety
And another pill for that

Is there no end to all these pills?
A pill here, a pill there, a pill everywhere it seems
Doctor doctor save me please
I think the pills are killing me

Maybe not my life
But for sure my personality
For sure my inner being
These pills are killing me

Doctor there must be another solution
Pills cannot be the only answer
Doctor Doctor save me please
All these pills are killing me

When I was a little girl
All I wanted was to grow up
Be cool like my mother
For she surely knew it all

In my early teens
Reality started to set in
I could see all of her flaws
And it shook my world terribly

Those late teens were hell
For I thought I knew it all
I couldn't accept a word from her
Because she wasn't what I thought she should be

Being an adult was no better
Wanting nothing to do with her
Blaming her for everything wrong in my life
Though she is only human just like me

Years have passed
And her past has caught up with her
Now it is time to say goodbye
To a very human mother

I forgive you
Can you forgive me?
For wasting all those years of anger?
In all this time I never stopped loving you
I just couldn't accept you weren't perfect
