What Should Have Been
The day the world dropped me off Moments it seemed From a blissful weekend Before meeting reality for the millionth time… And “go to hell” I thought Before knowing I was there Or where I belonged In between What should have been.

Take On
Take on me Troubles and gains Take on tomorrow Victories and pains Take on now Moments and truth Take on innocence Naivety of youth Take on yesterday Lessons from past Take on the future Something to last Take on now Like you have never done Take on the moment Like you’ve already won

Turn On The Light
All gloom Some anger too Doomsday written By more than a few. When outside The sun still shines Blinded people Of sarcasm and wine. Oh and the blame So easy to pass And so it swings Lost is class. The point of the finger Mirror in toe Equal in error Transgressors fail to know. Oh…

Being FABULOUS
I was born a mess Kind of a klutz A little beyond simple… Feeling Fabulous. Lacked box to fill As I go punching holes Challenging my purpose Defining a role. Grasping for understanding How peculiar am I Searing the normal Trials to try. I am just me Neither wrong or right Just what is Strength…

My Only Forever
I am lucky Not for now or never But for here and now My only forever. I could dread the trials Or the following day But I’d miss it all Living that way. I must see the sun And love the stars Appreciate the moment Of where we are. Not fear the future By what…

Vice
Soft scratches alert To hear you That you are there Until you aren’t And I wait As any caged prey would do For a return Or consequence Of proportions beyond me Or anything Even the moth runs from the flame While perched on the door Waiting for eternity Or just the day.

Your Best
ROY G BIV Is the rainbow The sun Makes each shadow A heart break Reveals some pain The peace of nature Makes you sane Unexpected loss Leads to unexpected leads The anger of another Born by ignored pleads Revenge an appetizer Best served cold Discipline is wasted If not learned till old. This moment now…

Perfectly Seen
Life in moments Seconds to reality Minutes pass Just like sanity. Right a blurry vision Wrong a current memory Forsaking what is For what was wanted. Happiness a goal Instead of being Changes happened As hands are no longer needed for time. Pausing to embrace The steps lost Forking a road On a straight path.…

Political BS
The more we share The less we learn Judgement and righteousness Seeds that burn. No seeking to understand Only confirming to “know” A bubble of anger Politics will show. And what in the end Will be shown what’s right History takes long For accuracy to write. What will you matter? How many arguments will you…

Why Not?
Why is loss What makes so many write? But good days and memories Seem more out of sight? Why is anger So easy on the tongue? Why laminate a tragedy? And not the victories won? Why not change the story? And give victory a proper speech? Allow life to make a difference… And practice what…

Inspiration
I’m inspired to live Inspired to cry Give a hand And question why. I’m inspired to love Even to grieve When to stay And when to leave. I’m inspired to hope And to give care Resist the edge Offer to share. I’m inspired to stop And block you too No inspiration to hate Or compromising…

She Was You
Living in the present moment Healthy for the soul Until the present kills purpose The future takes its toll. Lost in the silence Then crippled by the noise Blinded from possibilities And where there was choice. Changes happening rapidly Even while standing still Legs are locked place Hope losing its will. The ghost of me…

Darkness challenged
The sky a masterpiece Changing faster than any person… A blank canvas- Waiting to be more. Silver linings… Each cloud has a fate To which it will tell a story No plan beyond its purpose No fighting for something more. Now to move on peacefully After narrating a story Leaving behind another canvas- That for…

The Little Things
I took a few days off from work. It was forced really. Leadership made the announcement that we had to have our PTO time down to 40 hours or less by April 1st, and any time over 40 hours would be forfeited. Well, I am not giving anything back I have earned, so 220 hours…
