It matters not that you practically levitate in wo

It matters not that you practically levitate in wonderland 24x7,
That being a couch potato brings you more joy than being a french fry,
You would rather orate the whole verse in mind than pen it down,
When flushing the whole page out is easier than owning up to your work,
Even if all you are able to do is  rhyme tree and free,
Even if there are thousands fireflies more beautiful than yours,
Even if your poem looks like a doodle which you thought was a painting,
Even after all the what ifs,
Never let that finger stray to press backspace,
Maybe someday sitting inside a cubicle your hand may find itself back to your scribbles,
Grazing your fingertips along the lines while sipping your black coffee,
You would feel a wave of emotion take over you,
And let that old little soul rejoice the poetic days of its life,
Nostalgic for the days it lived through his words....


 I know the world tells you, metaphors are nothing but lies. Personifying is just you projecting. Similes are just vague comparisons. Poetry is pointless.

But remember sometimes the truth in you needs lies to communicate.
Sometimes imagination can be a better friend than people. 
Sometimes what keeps you alive is more important than what nails you to your bed.

Poetry is pointless like life. It's the meaning you give it that makes it have a point. So, make your poems as pointy as swords people use to kill each other. Point your poems at despair and shoot your demons. Poetry is the quietest and the most non-violent war you can wage on yourself and the world. You'll win even if it's just for 3 mins. And for this life, that's more than enough.
