FINDING THE GOOD WHERE GOODNESS IS DOUBTFUL

Sometimes I want to scream for all the stupidity of people Pull out my hair and flow the closest blunt object But doing that sort of thing has landed me with scars on my knuckles I find it better to help these stupid people when I can They can be quite frustrating at times, asking or saying the same...

ANTICIPATION

I’ve been working so hard for this party tomorrow As exhausted as I am, with all that I still need to do The best reward is seeing Drew Tomorrow morning I have to pick out movies And get one of the boys to clean the living room floor While I try to clean what my friends will see as they walk in the...

POSITIVE MEANDERINGS

I don’t understand why I should have thoughts in order to write I should be able to write any time day or night Regardless of my inspiration Free-flow writing is like a vacation It brings you out of your shell Express what you feel Take on the day With no fears in your way At times I feel like...

WRITING FOR THE SOUL????

They say that writing is therapy Does that count for exhaustion? I understand how it could make you happy But does it count for rejuvenation? Will I be able to stand straighter?

THE ETERNAL BOY WATCHES

The smoke billows around me From the cigarette, lit It hangs around me Strangely thick It’s as though I’ve lost thought of time All notion of where and when The house seems peculiarly silent Only the sound of the keyboard’s click Not a draft in the room Not the purr of a cat Not the snore of a...

MISSING HIM...

MISSING HIM... Heart-wrenching expectation I just can’t wait to see him There’s so much fun to be had Smiles to be shared Days of planning Determined and working To reach the goal at the end of the year Soon we will share the same bedroom In our cozy two bedroom apartment Away from the ears of nosy...

A WALKING SUPERSTITION

No one could understand the things that I see The things that I know for no reason at all The colors around each person I see The way people connect and react, I see it all I know someone’s presence before they even know mine I know when someone’s depressed and acting fine I know when the dead are...
