The Nerd attempts to write abstract poetry for his blog post.

26 January 2010 (Poetry Wednesday I)
The Nerd

Reflecting on the Past
Anger, Sadness

Rekindling, Failure

Darkness, Rage

Hoping for the Future
Hope, Longing
Freedom, Love
Optimism, Light

Biology
Substitute, Movie
Acting
Silence, Internal Monologue
Off Block
Liberation, Food
Math
Substitute, Nothing

Rehearsal
Running, Cane tricks, Singing
Puppets to the manipulative lawyer Flynn

(Romance Stanza
You've been warned)

Still on mind, always
Unclear feelings
Do I exist in her eyes?
Want to be close
Don't want to do the usual
Broken hearts unintentionally (IV)
Stabbed those who get close (AA)
"Heartless asshole," they say
Wish they were wrong
"Scourge of humanity," I say
Wish I was wrong
"Breaker of hearts," "Idiot," "Fool," "Clueless," we agree
Wish we were wrong
Wish I could change
Want to change
Will change
Won't hurt anymore
And hopefully won't get hurt

As time goes along, we all realize the need to change
And that time is now for me
Change
Or be left in the dust


An old man, filled with regret,
Waiting to die alone
