    off beat

    thinking sinking wide eyed unblinking

    on a path of colissions my vision is blurrin so many decisions

    revisions unending make same mistakes twice and again with precision

    and then when its all over its just the beginnin not even the end

    pretend these cycles are circles recycled and bent

    spent year after year faces came and they went

    but over and over the thoughts wont relent

    cemented to a cementary fence stuck behind bars,

    behind me the dead ahead of me stars, and an open sky

    askin why i try and why they died and why i got no answer, i cry

    so my eyes look down i hang or bang my head, this is all shit ive already said

    all of this has already been written im quittin no thats just more shit i pretend

    my pen no longer writes for me, now i type to feel more free

    in desperation just a desolation angel always off beat

    I really like the triplet rhymes, great stuff

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
