Is far from here

Away somewhere

with my favorite person

exploring new landmarks

having fun

and being free from responsibilities.

Unlike here

where I woke up

When they are smart enough

to quote your rules back at you.

Then you have to come up

with a quick reason

as to why you are making an exception

for your own deviousness.

But they will follow your actions

not your words.

Better pony up

and get along the side of the rules

Worse than merely itchy

Because of the popping possibility

And worst of all

they always are in the middle

where it is the hardest to reach

so dealing with the itch

and not popping them

When the day is already half over

when you finally get out of bed.

A shower would be nice?

Maybe some food to eat?

Somedays I think I can do this.

Somedays I merely exist.

Most days are a constant struggle

to get to those somedays where

Pick your battles

Place the boundaries

Let them know this is a line not to cross

When all else fails

do not allow the tantrum to win

Maybe then they will understand

that as the parent

your word is law

and although you respect them

A nutritious snack

well worthy of waking up for.

Oatmeal is filling

and pairs well with the fruit of choice.

So have a hearty meal

 

Money is spent

without thought or remorse.

The item on display

is now yours.

Why wait for the next sale

when it could be gone by then.

Plus your money

will also be gone.

Bills will have been paid

groceries bought

Rent will be due

so go get that wonderful tattoo

Start thinking you won

Begin to fantasize your achievements.

Arrogance will abound.

Failure is like a rock

It will drag you under

and smother all your breath.

So do not imagine winning.

Think about the progress

and learn to enjoy your journey.

Any being will fall.

It is those who pick themselves up again

Twilight measures the night

While dawn brings excess light

The darkness will hide

Even should the moonlight shine

The daytime dreams

Cannot compare to the nightmares screams

I lurk in the corners of your mind

A being so loathsome to find

There is nothing you can do

To stop being the fool

As I wander through and eat

To my gluttonous hearts beat
