Haiku

I was really bored at work one day and I wrote a bunch of dumb haiku, but at the same time I kind of liked them.

1). Working at Splash Zone.

It has been slow all day long.

I will slowly die.

2). The sun is shining.

It lights the dark in my heart,

but I am still full of dread.

3). He is crying now.

He doesn't want to leave here.

Not this place of water.

4). Try not to bite them.

One day they will grow stronger

and leave a good mark.

5). Sorrow fills my heart

from all these imperfections.

I don't know myself.

6). What do you do when

you keep covering yourself

and you can't be truth?

7). This Two for Tuesday

is the slowest one to be.

I feel locked in here.

8). Everything was good

while I was gone last week

But last week is over.

9). These haiku suck but,

I used to write really well.

What happened to me?
