For the Fool -- Poem

  Author's Note

This was written shortly after I wrote Fool(see my earlier post.) I really forced myself to write this one in an attempt to cheer myself up, and it kind of worked? Surprisingly it's a decent poem despite the fact I forced myself to write it(which usually ends in disaster.) This one was published in my school's newspaper as well, fittingly on the last day for Seniors(which I was[am?]) and it sat right next to a shoutout for my "magnificent poems."

                                                        For the Fool

For the people who jump without thought.  

No matter how much pain is wrought

For the people who live without a master.

No matter how much of it is bluster


For the people who fight for joy

And fall for every ploy

For the people who try to live right

No matter how hard the fight


For the people that don't fall

No matter how hard the call

For the people who always lead

No matter how challenging the deed


For the people with nothing to lose

For the people with nothing but blues

For the people who do as they choose

I say to thee, “Thank God for Fools!”

Mission Statement

  Hello Blogger, I'm BiggieCheese and I have rats in my brain... Well, not literally of course, but i think everyone has some kind of rat in their brain, that little squeak that pushes you to do stupid things and say stupid things, like sending a late night text to your ex asking them to come back, or just shoveling cheese down your throat at four in the morning(one of those this actually happened to me, Ill let you figure out which.) But these are the products of my rats, mostly written works and poetry I think, with the occasional philosophical rambling about the nature of death and how it interacts with the nature of consciousness and sentience(stay tuned for that ungodly mess.) That's what this blog really is for, to share the works that no one else cared to see, so i might as well scream it out from the rooftops, bound to be one sorry soul listening right? I'd like to thank a good family friend for this idea though before any real posts. She gave me this idea with a he...

On Mourning -- Poem

  Author's Note This is a very recent one, of which I think is one of my best. This one was published in my school's newspaper as well. I actually wrote this one entirely in my head on a drive home from my therapist's office and is about the girl mentioned in Fool and Letter 8(I told you she would come up a lot in my more modern work.) This one is really sad though, so I wouldn't blame you for skipping it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- On Mourning I mourn the fool who was forgotten I mourn the flower that never got to bloom I mourn the gifts never gotten I mourn the love brought to doom I mourn the fool left to rain Him and his sad drooping flower I Mourn the fool and all his pain Standing, waiting for the never-hour I mourn the words of love spoken I mourn the futility of his fight I mourn the heart crushed and broken The fool crying for his lost light I mourn the forsaken fool For the fool fallen for false love For the fool left...

Letter 8 -- Short Story

  Author's note This one is, in my opinion, my best work yet. It was written earlier this year after I put on a classical music playlist and locked in so hard I only was conscious again when the playlist ended. This story also got a girl to fall in love with me, although that story doesn't have a happy ending that i will not go into yet, but you'll see bits and pieces of it throughout some of my modern work although that's a story for another time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------                                           Letter 8 NOTE TO SELF: This letter appeared the day after your (my? our?) birthday. I have no memory of these events, but the letter touches on things no one should know about. I accidentally almost threw this letter out this morning, but I stopped at the last second. This letter is important, though I do...
