Simulated Success

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

Dreadful fear

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

Call to Activism

When you are sure attention

is already upon you

and it is not the kind you wish

Something must be done.

So go out and fight

call out the problems

See others and join them

Do not let injustices go by unseen!

But most of all

realize you are doing something

incredibly important

Something you may lose everything for.

And will it be worth it?

Doubt will creep in

Stealing your heart energy

but fight nonetheless

because there are those who can not fight

and they need you

even if you think you are not making a difference

The world will know you did!

Slow Moving

When the energy does not exist

and you still have to do things.

The children need breakfast

and the cats need to be feed.

Clothes take an eternity to put on

and not just your own.

Coffee, the universal saviour of the tired

has to work double hard this morning.

Once the kids are out the door and at their schools

all y ou wish to do is nap

but there are so many more things that need to be done!

So go on and move like a snail

I won’t judge you

because I am in the same boat
