barstool poetry.
“Turn”
If there’s one thing in my life I’ve learned,
It’s that there exist some corners that can never be turned.
I will always find myself stuck in the bend,
And unable to see my life through to its end.
But a straight path is hardly what I wish.
I want no stocking of the lake that I fish.
A life without troubles is worth no life at all,
For I know I can never reach the top without taking the odd fall.
And to you my beloved beholders do I wish to relay,
That it is only in the face of death that true life does lay.
Yeah, death’s a total buzz kill.

I LOVE that bit about wanting “no stocking of the lake that I fish”!! What a great sentiment, and a great metaphor for it too!! Kudos! Again, there are a number of things you can do to tighten up the meter. If you want suggestions, ask, otherwise I’ll keep my mouth shut. 🙂

Ha. Rhyming is hard sometimes, I guess.
