In honor of National Poetry Month I'm going to be posting some stuff here. Since I don't really read my posts will mostly consist of song lyrics. I've confirmed with Stephanie that song lyrics count as poetry. If you want legit poems though check out her poetry blog. She posts some amazing stuff over there.
Today's entry is brought to you by Ani Difranco.
Grey
The sky is grey
The sand is grey
And the ocean is grey
And I feel right at home
In this stunning monochrome
Alone in my way
I smoke and I drink
And every time I blink
I have a tiny dream
But as bad as I am
I'm proud of the fact
That I'm worse than I seem
What kind of paradise am I looking for?
I've got everything I want and still I want more
Maybe some tiny shiny key
Will wash up on the shore
You walk through my walls
Like a ghost on tv
You penetrate me
And my little pink heart
Is on it's little brown raft
Floating out to sea
And what can I say
But I'm wired this way
And you're wired to me
And what can I do
But wallow in you
Unintentionally
What kind of paradise am I looking for?
I've got everything I want and still I want more
Maybe some tiny shiny key
Will wash up on the shore
Regretfully
I guess I've only got three
Simple things to say:
Why me?
Why this now?
Why this way?
With overtones ringing
And undertows pulling away
Under a sky that is grey
On sand that is grey
By an ocean that's grey
What kind of paradise am I looking for?
I've got everything I want
And still I want more
Maybe some tiny shiny key
Will wash up on the shore

I love the image of the little pink heart, in a brown raft, floating on a grey sea; it's like she is still able to see color...
