Problems only



Problems only, no solutions.
If you want no resolution,
You had best to keep it moving,
'Cause I got no time for losing.

Drowning, begging, "God, please save me!
Send your angels, Lord, please aid me!"
Crying, calling, in the darkness
Of your self-created boxes.

Cut a hole and let some light in.
Say, "I can't! Of change, I'm frightened!"
Lift a corner, it's so easy.
You refuse, claim you don't need me.

Wonder why I even bother.
"Do not preach!  You're not my father!"
Seek attention for your drama,
Save that bullshit for your mama.

You don't want no resolution.
Problems only, no solutions.
Pain and anguish, that's your craving.
Crying wolf, you want no saving!

As you weave the purest fiction:
"Look at me, the saddest victim."
Crying, calling, for assistance.
Helping hands met with resistance.

Problems wholly your creation,
Try my patience past frustration.
Take advising toward relieving,
'Stead you wallow in your grieving.

Ask for help, yet help denying.
Baffle, stun, and mystifying.
'Til I realized that you're lying:
Loving every tear you're crying.

Problems only, no solutions.
You don't want no resolution.
Because solutions, you abhor:

You couldn't blame the world no more.

As for me? I'll keep it moving.
'Cause I got no time for losing.
I ain't got no time for problems,
If you ain't got resolve to solve them.

Just in case anyone cares, doing that reading in one take was not easy :) also, this is my first piece in a trochaic pentameter, I never did one before not thinking that it was any different that iambic pentameter, but it is. I kinda like the feminine rhymes, so I guess this is me getting in touch with my feminine side? get it, because... each line has a feminine ending? no? poetry jokes don't work if no one understands, it's cause when you end a line with an unstressed syllable it's called a "feminine ending" get it now? ahh forget it, it's not funny anymore
