i have a house of sticks, at best
it's not a home, nor haven, nor a nest.
i can't relax, enjoy my sleep
unless a headstone branded:RIP
i have a room which isn't mine
a wooden clock that tells no time
enormous mirrors starring back
a virtue counter showing: lack(of)
a single window and no light
a single curtain shades the night
the bed's so low it seems to sink
the room's so bleak, you'll think i drink
but i do not!.. repeat, do not!
nor shall i ever..unless hot.
allow, oh please, a famous quote:
-yet everyone reads what i wrote,
i feel a certain disbelief
that somehow i'm a captured thief
and here, before an ad-hoc judge and jury
who can't object to rule with fury
my once and only small mistake
was to consider you my friend, you fake!
now leave.
