Clouds
Never was love supposed to hurt this way
Never was love supposed to cry
Never were you supposed to walk away
Parting clouds hang in the sky
Never some time ago would you say that
Never sweet nothing was such a test
Never forever meant such crap
Distant clouds over the west
Never tempted you said to me
Never hurtful I said back
Never unfaithful you were meant to be
The clouds are gone the sky is black
Sometimes golden a baneful day
Sometimes blue your rosy cheeks
Sometimes love just slips away
Clouds have not appeared for weeks
Only once did you make me sad
Only once I left with pain
Still never sorry of the times we had
Memories of clouds remain
Attempts at Failure
Tell me something, sir
Was it really bad?
Did I not try hard enough?
Your mark just leaves me mad.
What could I do better?
Maybe spend more time
Practising and rehersing
Each and every line?
Would that have made it better?
Or did my content stink?
What could I do next time?
Should I give you time to think?
So what was really wrong?
I dont think you know.
I dont think that anything
Could have improved my show.
But still you mark me down.
And still I ask you why.
I'm sure it was my topic
About societies lies.
Now at the risk of sounding cocky
Or an up myself prick
I know I shouldnt say this
But you sir make me sick!
You've been suked down by society
And my words were almost true.
Well I'll be damned if I'll ever
Let them tell me what to do.
