Beginning To End

Where to begin
That's a far easier place
To leave me from
As the harder is
Where to end
And all that comes between
It goes without saying

Esepcially when
The weight of reaching x
Is half a heavy load
And to fail to lift it to the end
Is not a thing
I will let but happen yes
So this I guess
Is me but saying clear
Though I am near
To my good goal
I want more than close
And will settle for nothing less 

Which is as it should be
As poetry
That's my thing 
If I could sing
I'd have my own album
Because i could write the words
That I could sing
And then I'd have me an album

But I can't do that
I can however
Yes write and draw
Which is a good one two punch
That could buy me lunch
And dinner too
With a lot of luck
And timing yes
That's always helpful  

So to say I'm fucked
Though vulgar some
And a supposed sign
Of writing poor
Has the ring of truth
But even a loser can win
Just look yourself through
The annals of history
And you will find those
Who won they did
After many a year
Of losing lots
Which sounds a lot like me 
I'm sad to say

But oh so long 
As I persevere
It's pretty clear
That I can still win
No matter how much
It seems like I can't 

Or is that all in my head
And anyone passing through
Would say you do you
If I can believed
Others can too 

To which I have to agree
As twitter has shown to me 
That despite my thoughts
Of a terrible form
Of anti-charisma
I've found my way
To a following of goodly folks
I never thought I'd have
In my wildest of dreams 

Where to begin
That was easy
As it often is
Only how to get myself
From there to here
With the ending near
It weren't so hard tonight
As I came to write
As I do
When it comes to verse
Not like a finger snap
But easy enough
It's not so tough
When you're blessed like me
In the art of poetry
More's the pity sad
That it's the least regarded art
So how little it means
Aye how little it means indeed
