Wasted Energy
The mind is terrible to waste- Aimlessly running thoughts… Only to have bent meanings. Ridiculous articles of advice- Purposes to avoid writing a thing. Perhaps the same problem? Simply writings words on a page… Failed to turn me on.

Spring Sarcasm
Sunday, March 20th, you marched in- With fair weather in tow. But by Wednesday, March 23rd The Spring’s sarcasm was snow. Not just a flake or minor inch- For that simply wouldn’t do. No, instead eighteen inches or more- Was the updated forecast for you. But to show some faith in the joke- You woke…

Judgements
Please come a little closer… What do you see? You are only close enough- If you can judge me. How close do you have to be? Before that’s what you do? Are more than my looks needed- Before it comes from you? Tell me your rights… Or the privileges you possess…. So that I may…

Playing outside is good for you!

BEING
We shine so bright-As we start our lives… Gracing the world around us. We spring to life- And observe some death… Being both independent and helpless. We embrace our role- And struggle with faith… With each new day we see, But in the end- As the fragrance passed… We embrace what…

The Secret to Life
I will admit I feel confused-By many articles and writings I have read. The life people describe isn’t one that I have lived- And the blessing is mine I guess. I didn’t grow up in a world of us and them- Or drawing a line between black and white. Prejudice was simply a…

Patience
What is the point of speaking…If you can’t hear what I say? What is the point of touching you…. If you can’t feel me? What is the point of giving you more…. If you ignore what you’ve received? Why would I ask you to be…

CYCLE
Are you my friend in misery? Or are you just my enemy? Do I know the difference? Promises come in circles- Circles have no end… Maybe that is why- We live in a vicious cycle… Because the promise has no end.

LIFE LESSONS
Perfection is temporary- And a lie that lasts… Tomorrow should be your goal- Possibilities will be vast. Not knowing what you had- Makes no difference to you now.. So go with what you knew- Avoid having a cow. Hate is a blinding emotion- Love has that reputation too… Don’t use the ignorance of…

Morning
So tired my eyes And empty my brain From the sleepless nights I sleep. So frustrated I feel As the dread sits in From Monday’s alarm beep. So here I go And up I get To pay the bill’s need. So comes the day And ripe the hour Of confidence to heed. So goodbye the…

Playing God
The story is mine- The scene is set- The protagonist knows- What you’ll come to regret. I own the right- To make you do what you do- So much that can’t be changed- Because I own you! Will you be happy or sad? Will you live or die? So many truths to discover- In the…

AGING
What did I do? I moved. What did I feel? Pain. What does this mean? Age sucks! Who is my friend? Ice. Who is my best friend? Ibuprofen. Why? My knee was mad. THE END

Idiots!
Why do you come back? And annoy me like you do? I thought I was clear yesterday! Was it not enough for you? You cannot drive! Your head is up your ass! It is not my fault I went around you… But your stupidity increased my need to pass. If you are looking at your…

Oh…
Oh Comfort… When did you become so bad? Oh Thrill… When did you become something to fear? Oh Youth… Why did I resent you so? Oh Age… Where did my moments go? Oh Memory… How did you get so close? Oh Time… Thank you for one more chance. Oh Brain… Don’t you fail me yet.…

Dear Life
Dear Life, I remember living so many years ago- And life was simple then. Sunny days were spent outside, And fun was what it should have been. Winter storms were a blast when over- Because forts and snowballs were fun. And when Mom called us all inside, We were sad the day was done. I…

MONDAY
It started with a panic. A rude awakening. But first time was a charm To shut up the damn thing. It is the alarm Alerting you the week will start. But the first day is the worst And I take the defeat to heart. I lay in bed Avoiding getting ready. Dreading the day That…

Circle of Life
I remember the turn I forget the direction I know there was a spin A distant reflection. I remember insanity I forget how to make it stop I know a cry was heard A distant life. I remember panic I forget peace I think a distant memory. A time space. I remember a straight line…

What IF
What if you had noticed- The look on their face… When they waited to pick you up And bring you to your place? How many children would be born? How much happiness would there be? If you saw the lack of promise- And felt adult’s misery. I ask as I sit in the parking lot,…

Depression
So…. I walked into it- A hell absent of a destination; A future could not be seen. The doors were guarded with deception- As paths of shimmering promise. So I walked through them… Wouldn’t you? Demented with thoughts That appearances were true. Yet here I stand. Debilitated. Who knew? IT did.

Super Bowl 50
Say what you want About what it takes to win. Is it about the scored points? Or the diversified talents of men? Whether the arm of the Quarterback Or the hands on the run… On February 7th It was the DEFENSE that got it done. From pressure and sacks And turnovers too The Broncos made…

Blonde
I once woke up On the wrong side of the bed- Ran into a wall Obviously hit my head. Ever since that day I have been considered a blonde Ditsy and a little crazy Accused of my brain being gone. So I ask you When you go to bed at night Which side do you…

Made a Woman
Effortless soar up into the clouds As winds hush all around me- Chills and dreams With minute thrills that I seek. Walking on water- Swimming on sand- Eternal love- Tolerance at hand. Warm fires to sleep Glaciers caves and lips… Melting away slowly Within his finger tips.

Excuse
I am an excuse. That is all that I am. I work every time. No need to change my plan. I can make someone squirm As they try to prove me wrong. Some do not give up easy But I work to beat who is strong. As long as I live You know…

Addicted Beggar
I am a box with secrets you couldn’t see. I am just a box and you opened me. I am a box that tried to stay closed. I am a box with benefits I have yet to show. I am a box in need of a bigger purpose. I seek to be filled so not…

BLUE COLLAR CURSE
So came Monday- The start of the work week. The day in which I accept my weekly defeat. Tuesday was next- And how did I feel? The loss of the confidence the suit did steal. Wednesday then tried.. To lessen the week’s dump… With a cheery message I am over the hump. Thursday then offered…

SO…
So bold are you Who offer replies To written words you’ve read. So tough the language You may use With only hatred spread. So demanding are you In seeking respect For all that you may feel. So absent are you Of the intent Of the messages that you steal. So sad the day That we…

Fall and Rise
My haste is a loss of all that I know As I willingly strip the gain for pride- And lose my conscience within the stride. Feeling unaided I sink too low- I riddle the thoughts You should not know. I shake and quiver And replace my strength- As a new me I insist to make.…
