returned situation

relieved that things are
ever so slightly improving day by day
there were times i wondered how to get here
unbelievable how far you can fall
re-live mistakes or learn and grow forth
needlessly finding the areas that hurt
each day does not have to be a struggle
dare to walk that cliff edge
so that you can feel what others do
implied by the final minutes
that brought this series of thoughts around
unless the fast sadness fades
and takes with it the worries of the year
these hours will enjoy themselves
inspiration is a tool for the brain
on the occasion you have to express something
nearly every day this should be applied

stubborn anguish

slow motion is what this day feels like
tormented by the face of a clock
under the watchful eye of mister sun
betrayed by the unavoidable yawn
beside my hand is a big full mug
on my face a frozen sleeping look
red cough syrup color are my eyes
no amount of caffeine will be enough today
as i try to look around i feel my eyelids fight
normally i could at least be able to
get the blood flowing and go
upward sitting and shaking off the shivers
it takes massive willpower just to keep aware
should the chance come up to have fun with you again
have to admit i wouldn’t hesitate

refuse cruel words

remind the soul to smile
even if someone wants you to be unhappy
find that bit which makes you centered
utilize it when extremely needed
shift your thinking so that darkness loses
endure and inspire
cause it is the right thing to do
really could be as much for you as it can
uplift other people too
expect nothing and it is all good news from there
let me give you some positive words
when it seems life is a little too rough
only you can bring yourself out of the gutter
rivers of persistence run through your skin
doing your best to
stay true to the path meant for you

passion eviction

prepared for the end of year
across the months
some on this day and a bit on sunday
should have seen the change
in where our devotion is directed
outside is where the momentum is calling
normal is a myth of society law
ending when the first warrior is
voted into power
if you blame something besides yourself, you admit
controlling yourself is not what you do
there is a weakness if you blame and don’t own up
include everyday in your list of gratefulness
only if you lose diligence do you become cruel
nobody can make me a mean person anymore

empathy required

every day something else
makes me aware of the aches of the world
part of my amazement
always revolves around people
that cannot think of anyone besides themself
having the ability to feel for others
years ago was not quite so difficult
right now it is a dying skill and
empathy and apathy are diseases fighting
quietly allowing people’s kindness to perish
under the flames of big business and media
in the eye of glowing cold unfeeling blue screens
red sky from burning forests and water disasters
each day we are braced for new
drama thrust upon our shoulders by societal life

opportunity tested

our dreams are like
playing with water balloons while
pacing back and forth on hot coals
out in the rest of the world we
realize how important the little things are
there are only so many
useable deeply important moments in a life
never can tell when those minutes arrive
inside our existences we know
those who are meant to impact will do so because
young and old all get the same hours in a day
times when people are meant for you become obvious
ever been so aware of time it becomes annoying?
still feel like you are always late for something
tasting the ability to plan without being driven crazy
evolve and embrace the
devotion that you should recieve

announced better

across the land
near the ocean or by the mountains
nobody has a life that is without struggle
over all minds is this ability to
use your will power to persevere
now is the time to start a chain of
compassion to help those in need
end this tragedy by doing what is required
being open and kind to others
everyone is going through thier own troubles
take the time
to appreciate all these other lives
even when you are alone
remember the trials we all share

process happening

play the game like everyone else
recognize that it isn’t hard to help
only the most sturdy minds
can bring other people up while plunging their depths
endure and include while securing the anchor
storms exist for all of us
some people handle stress a lot better than others
happiness is often a one sided coin to
all of those more in tune with the mysteries of life
people also know that they care about themselves
perhaps if they don’t then nobody else will
eden is just another
name for being completely at peace within yourself
if you get a chance to reach out
never lose sight of the help you can give people
go forth and share your elation

eternal alone time

either its too late at night or
that is the blue of morning
entering in slowly at evening’s end
raising the cup with the gradual grace and
nearly finished pausing the energies once more
as these minutes expire like unwatered plants
leftover time used to input ideas and
ashes and dirt twisting circles in the breeze
like the severe weather the coast is being punished by
opportunities which happen after the worst terrors
nestled deep in the mind is the last study
empty of sound but full of knowledge
there are hours when the final minutes matter most
in truth, the time spent doing what you love
makes every other part of life bearable
emotions can change an entire person

required request

remind, enjoy, destroy
endure the reflection of yourself
quit the preparing and escape
unless these expectations are met
imply that where you are at is just fine
roast in the heat as you travel
entire conversations with yourself are
desired just to get intelligent talk
red little tomato hanging on a vine doesn’t
even know its life is about to end
questioning your existence is
use less until you know who you really are
eventually the anxiety and dark thoughts join in
some people feel like that is slipping in a comfy bath
there is comfort after becoming used to it for so long
