The ability to block

Time for a Change
Whether it is good or bad
Things need to be dealt with.
Problems from the past
should be looked at
and then seen with new eyes.
Outside forces will come into play.
Fear can be overwhelming.
As strong as it is
surviving through it all
is the strongest response of all.
The Monster is Awake
You can hear its strange cries
as it stirs and wakes up.
Shuffling and moaning
as it moves from room to room.
You can only pray
before it reaches you
that you can handle it.
Beat it.
Overcome it!
Once today,
just once.
Or you are forever gone.
He didn’t mean it
It was an accident.
He misjudged.
It was not intentional.
But that did not matter.
Her fury was instant.
She attacked without hesitation.
All he could do was hide.
Even that did not save him.
She knew his safe spot.
She waited until it was no longer hidden.
Then when her fury was abated
And he had been punished
Did she calm down again.
Waiting until the next time.
The next time he made a mistake.
Think thoughts
Write them down
You steal them.
Keep them safe
As you sing your song.
No one break them
And I am stronger
When I speak them.
My think thoughts.
Less vomiting words
And talk. Not talk.
Turmoil in trouble
The mind refuses to stay focused.
Tangents appear with frequency.
Mouth vomits words fast.
Too fast.
The heart spills it secrets.
A touch and then a hug.
A long hug.
One that helps.
One that calms.
One that soothes.
One that reminds the heart of being loved.
One that is love.
Unlimited Lives
An oxymoron at its finest.
A term gamer geeks live for
when their game gives you an hour of them.
Still, the lives end when the hour is up.
Are all our lives at an end?
Is our hour up?
Gamer existentialism.
Sooner or later the game will end.
But real life demands we live our lives
like we have no limits.
Our unlimited life is one we choose to live.
Not when our hour is up.
Memo for the Day
Work smarter not harder.
Work harder or you will be fired.
Departure of employees will not be discussed.
Next meeting will discuss employee turnout.
New meeting to discuss employee morale.
Management rearrangement revealed at next meeting.
Management needs to discuss where did all the employees go?
Stare
Unblinking
Yellow
Waiting
Watching
Tense
Expectant
and
most of all
Unnerving.
Pants
There was a pair
somewhere around here
that were not stained
or previously worn
{for five days straight}.
Ones that were fresh and clean
so that they gird the loins
of the one who must make their way
into the eye of the public
{grocery stores count}.
Cloth coverings not torn
but ones that did not have
a bad smell.
Ones that should have been washed
days ago.
Emergency measures must be taken.
Scrub off the stain
and apply some deodorant
{on the inside}
and pray that no one notices.
