Metatrope

I'm bored of nature metaphors!
Give me a goddamn violin
or some weird suede boots
Or a wild red train
or a creepy dancing mannequin!
My heart is heavy!
It demands art to feel it's heard!
But I will scream if it insists
I rhyme one more line with "bird"!
"I feel sad"
my heart says coyly
"y’know, weighty, like a stone"
"and cold like bitter winter mists"
"and my efforts like the tree that twists
on a cliff face, all alone..."
I'm sick of all the melancholy,
can't we vent out some bright party?
C'mon heart, I know you're spry and
Don't you fucking like balloons?
Yeah, I know you want to die,
Lets set it to some slick basson,
And a goofy Tuba,, kick it all up
Make angst dance around the room!
