I suppose we write
For a variety of
Reasons but I write
To understand we all
Have problems for sure
But I know that
When I can write
About something only then
Do I understand it
Until then I’m as
Useless as a rubber
Duck in shower stalls
Month: February 2023
HellICan’t
The hell I can’t
That is my mantra
And what carries me
Far above and beyond
I have never been
Limited by others opinion
You see most people
Spend entirely too much
Time constructing tiny little
Boxes and furnishing them
With trinkets of past
But me I see
The world as a
Puzzle and I am
A child picking and
Trying this piece and
That confident in myself
Knowing that whatever it
Is I will figure
It out and if
I can’t it can’t
Be solved but the
Goal is rarely as
Fun as the trip
And that’s the difference
Between me and others
FuckTheCowards
I have my strategy
And my game plan
And now I rest
Content in the knowledge
That I will be
Victorious damn the naysayers
And the cowards and
Fuck to anyone who
Says that I won’t
Stay in your stands
Hope for my failure
But if I die
know that I died
Trying and not watching
Cast
At some point
Nothing is better
Than shitty somethings
I will never
Live up to
Anyone else’s expectations
I didn’t audition
So don’t cast
Me in the
Part of the
Hero in this
Your own fantasy
Yesterday
And in one day
Poof it was over
Two its actually a
Day of obliteration and
Decimation as though a
Tiny invisible gas leak
Found its way to
A flame and boom
Now on my own
Once again on my
Own surprisingly similar and
Familiar on my own
I am left with
Nothing but persistent me
The glory of being
Alone I have found
Is that’s there’s no
One else to blame
But before the explosion
Someone and not me
Left the burner on
And another struck the
Match now leaving nothing
