i don't even try, it just happens.

i don't even try, it just happens.

Someone should hold me close & say they're not gonna fall for that.
Tell me to behave & quit causing trouble.
Stop with all the risks,
they've had enough of this.
Well if ignorance is bliss, then you're just plain floatin'.

I fell asleep smiling.
When I woke up it was Wednesday.
And what a surprise, I made it through the night again.
But we aren't one, and we'll never be;
so I better pick myself up yet again, in rotation.

Very well put writing it is. One should always pick themsilves up. No matter how hard it is. And if one has good friends like i know i do, they can definitely help. I know.

I am SO glad you picked up on that. I was worried it would be a filler!

This is great poetry- I agree with Kah. Very simple and truthful in a sort of riddled way. I like the last line.

Thank you. (: When I brainstorm..I tend to put the best line at the end to show my perception..

I like how you start off this poem with wishing for someone, and then how you end with pick yourself back up. Life moves on, even when we want it to stand still.

Thank you. (: I'm glad you saw that.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
