I was at the bar last night, trying to think through this book thing more, and realized that I need certain types of poems if I want to really tell this story right. One that I need is a "fluff" type poem; it needs to be just enough to bring someone in, to start the book off with, but not full-bore rip-the-heart-out yet. So I wrote this one, to hopefully take that place. Maybe not the best, but it fills its roll...
The Story
This is the story of my life
This is the story of the scary things I see everyday
This is the story of the truth of my youth, all the stupid little things
That add up to who I am today
This is the story of my love
This is the story of the hot July summer nights
This is the way we all escape, day to day, from the truth of our youth
That makes us all the way we are today
This is the story of yesterday
This is the story of tomorrow too
So when you feel like its time to start the end, and you feel like just giving up
Remember it's just a story anyway
This is the story of my life
This is the story of a little boy
This is the story about everybody too
This is the broken little home that we all came from
This is the setting of the scene
This is the story of my life
About Me
- DrSketch
- If you've never heard of me before, how did you find your way here? Nevermind, doesn't matter. Everyone calls me Dr Sketch, and I write poetry. Some of it's happy, some of it's sad, not all of it is good, but I try to only put up the best of it on here. I'm not very "regular" about updating, but try to get one or two updates a week done...

Okay, that draws me in! Geez when you talk about the little boy and the broken little home, it tears at me.
Thanks Ma. Now, forget you ever read it, it's going to be the first one in the book!
