"Townhouses, Hospitals, & Friends"

A Poem

By Christopher CousePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I've been sitting here

for the past two years.

I've seen my hopes and dreams

turn to shit.

And I hope this time next year

I will be far away from....

hospitals, this town, this house, and these friends -

that don't seem to care.

And I've been meaning to get out of the state

for the past few years.

I've been sitting here

for the past two years.

I've seen my hopes and dreams

turn to shit.

And I hope this time next year

I will be far away from....

hospitals, this town, this house, and these friends -

that don't seem to care.

And I've been meaning to get out of this lifestyle

for the past two years;

I've been wanting to change some things.
