William Saint George Poetry

A page for poems, pictures and motley

Try so hard to be someone

then you forget what you’ve become.

Your day job is a constant frown,

your diadem, a leaded crown.

You strut the streets with oppulence,

yet are not paid your recompense;

you lie, you cheat just to get by.

alone, you’re broken, and you cry.

The world’s a stage, but not for you.

You cannot ignore what is true:

You’re a filthy, broken destitute,

at best, a mental prostitute.

Why wither, when you can regain

the treasure that you still disdain?
