The bills continue to come in The children raise their voices with needs I can’t afford Warning signs all around me from unresolved medical issues The notification of past due balances and penalties Checking account overdrawn and next pay check is still a week out The pantry is thinning and the gas tank almost onContinue reading “Slowsand”

When we’re old
We had said you and I, We would travel the world, if our paths met again. The moment seemed impossible, Yet something inside wanted to defy, So we took comfort in a promise we made, That when we’re old…. If our paths met again….. Yet today the sunrose and you were no longer here, WhatContinue reading “When we’re old”
A Wave
Waiting on excitement is such a fickle thing The wave comes in, lifts you up and leaves you Before you’re able to assimilate what just happened Why don’t we resent the ocean when it does the same? Because we didn’t expect the wave to linger. We resent excitement when it leaves us, We feel abandoned,Continue reading “A Wave”
I love this post. Unseen.
My finger trembled slightly, pressing down on the screen over the “like” icon, waiting for the other options to come up. The trembling echoed an inner trembling as well. Teary eyes whose trembling tensed and strained as the finger chose the heart option. “I love this post” I sigh in release as I let go.

Weakness
My weaknesses, my demons lazzines and procrastination. My vice, comfort and ease It seems a monumental undertaking To gather enough energy To break the stasis A bubbling desire, a sensed greatness Shackled down by fear and uncertainty What a demon to fight? When it offers comfort as an alternative.
Frustrated by life
Frustrated by life Frustrated by me Frustrated by you Don’t know where it all began But I don’t want to it end like this. It’s been so long, I doubt I’ll recognize my heart North, South, East or West? Up or down? The doubt holds me down. Holds me in frustration.
How long
How long can you wait? Before making a decision you always knew you should take, but waited in inaction for things to change. How many years will go by? Living and disliking your life, ashamed and guilty. How much punishment can you take? Or will you wait for it to break you? Force you toContinue reading “How long”
Puzzle piece
Like a puzzle piece that looks like the rest Trying to find its place Only to find its edges dont line up exactly. Finding no match, but seeing something close to it, It forces it’s place in the tapestry Either forming a gaping hole in the image Or snapping back out because of the tension.Continue reading “Puzzle piece”
