Would-Be-Writer Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Would-Be-Writer



Would-be writer

I hate living in a rented room
Meeting people in the hall
Waiting till the hall is empty
Hurry out sighing.
Walking for miles to find
An empty bar, where no one
Knows your secret that you are a drunk.
Paper and pen I wanted to write
A great novel.
Strong booze blurred words
Walking home
Hoping the hall would be empty.

We can see a lot in this poem. I don't need to express it for it's clearly there.

Thank you for expressing the frustration of renting- but at this point, I'm happy to have a roof over my head.
