Poem: The plaster is forming and my face takes hold
The expression I have is angry and old
One picture happy, one picture sad
Just a couple is all that I have

My anger grows as I plant the seed
All those around me, please take heed
For I cannot tell what will come next
Whatever my mood dictates, this ship is already wrecked

My chair is broken sitting on the floor
Pictures fall I can take no more
Steel bends when I do not pay attention
The pole is silent and it stalls my ascension

Why am I here that is my question
Nothing I found has stopped my aggression
My wheel is spinning with rain slinging up
Not enough water to fill this cup

Cannot you freeze me and wake me later
I can then be normal with a love that is greater
The pain is expensive in money and hurt
I would much rather be a frozen dessert...
