    "This Punctuation-Related Injury Could've Been Prevented if I Had Writer's Block"

    she said that i'm ridiculous,
    she said she meant it in a good way.

    i guess it's true.

    i'm trying to get this right,
    'cause i'm ridiculous like that.

    i try to search for the right things to say
    but i trip over the formatting
    and all the symbols pierce my skin
    causing a punctuation-related injury.

    the doctors said they didn't know what to do
    when i stumbled into the emergency room
    dangling my participles
    and holding on to the right words.

    they directed me down the hallway
    and i ended up in a dr. seuss book
    filled with ridiculous rhymes
    that made me feel like i was on acid.

    maybe that's what she meant
    when she said i was ridiculous;
    maybe i'm a dr. seuss book --
    childish and cute,
    and not a person someone would want.

    the exclamation point
    at the end of her voice
    stabbed me in the eye
    and i couldn't see for days.

    this movie could be the way we live our lives
    if we really wanted to
    but we've got to take that first step
    and kill mike meyers for playing the cat in the hat
    and shrek,
    though unrelated,
    and pretend that the mystical,
    fantasy world that dr. seuss created is real life
    and that real life is just as happy.

    she's always on my mind
    which is more than i can say
    for the red fish and blue fish
    that are consulting with each other right now,
    trying to determine what to do with my
    question mark-induced injury.

    because all i've done is ask questions
    and not even to the person
    they should be directed to.

    i've held conversations with myself
    and those run-on sentences
    can take a toll on one's sanity after a while.

    she said that i'm ridiculous,
    she said she meant it in a good way --
    maybe it's true,
    since i'm just trying to get this right,
    'cause i'm ridiculous like that.

    yeah, 'cause i'm ridiculous like that.​

    I don't see any problems or things I need to comment on here (negative things, I mean), but I'll say this; I love it.

    It was nice. There are some grammer errors, and you could use caps.

    I'm pretty sure there are no grammar errors besides the capitalization, but that's my new style -- no caps.

    But thanks for the comments everyone. :)
