The Murder of Crows



Sometimes I feel like Van Gogh
Misunderstood, unliked, forgotten
On the verge

Yes, on the verge
I feel like him
Ignored, brushed off, used, confused

They cackle at me, laugh
Drive me away, drive me back
Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!

Perhaps I could draw, paint
Leave something behind
Like Van Gogh
