Got to get my camera out.
Darn game!
No, I do not want to play right now!
I want to capture the cuteness.
Good.
The cats are still in position.
Aw, they are adorable.
Depressive Episode Onslaught
The spiralling thoughts
finding the point
of overwhelming anxiety.
The desperate helplessness,
the hopelessness,
the despair.
The desire to hide
and never come out again.
The sun doesn’t shine for me.
So why look for the sunshine?
The rains fall
and so does my mood.
My spirit is tired of fighting.
Can I please just go to sleep?
If I wake up…
will I be a better person?
Admitting your mistakes
When you know you are wrong
Embarrassment makes you want to hide.
Yet if you can find the courage
and tell the wronged party
It is a sign of healing not weakness.
Whatever the consequences
It means you are looking ahead
not behind
and no ones ass looks that good.
That Red Aunt
We sometimes call her Flo
because she helps with the cycles.
She visits every month
cleaning out the unused linens
and replacing them for the next possible visitor.
Sometimes she can be mean
Harsh with her cruel words
making us cramp up
from the pain she inflicts.
She is not always kind when she cleans.
Still, without her help
the young ones would not arrive
which is why the older you get the less she visits.
She likes the babies.
Today is day where I wish her visit was already over.
Sleep Well
When the dreams drive us deeper
We strive to strike the surface
Only to find empty air.
A shambles of the waking world.
Closing our eyes makes us watch reruns
Again
And again.
Seeing the nightmares of reality
Through crying eyes
Sleep deprived and numb.
My head may rest
But my body cannot stop the shakes.
Blah Poem for Today
Creativity is all used up.
No ideas left for this morning.
Too many schedules to maintain.
Much is organized and found wanting.
Life is hectic and I’m needing a day off.
The Wonders of Social Rehabilitation
I have no idea where I am going with this.
Other than to say, Yay!
To those who turned their lives around
I am proud of you.
It is the ones who say
but do not do
that make me sad.
Everyone deserves a second chance
Except those who refuse to accept change is necessary
for society to re-accept them.
When prisons go bad
people get worse.
Can we help society by loving the people but not their crimes?
The Differences in Agenda
Office Parties Suck
When Party Politics gets involved.
Those who like to be wall flowers
are thrown into the Fray
As those who are trying to stir up the crowd
Are too drunk to see the Fear
they are causing.
The onlookers watch with horrified dismay
and sip their coffees carefully
as the clowns parade
throughout the office
shouting out their slogans
with ties wrapped around their heads.
Underwear or lamps may be involved
but not before a fight breaks out.
Nowadays security cameras pick up everything
and CEO’s weed out chafe
after watching the highlights of the Party.
No Room for Humanity
One day we might not have parents.
Scientifically to be grown in a vat.
Nurtured in an orphanage of robots.
Wanting the human touch.
Wasting away as humanity fades.
Yet, we are still human.
We still have the elders who learned the lore
and remember the days when parents
cuddled them and loved them.
My Mother is but a cell from which I was grown.
My Father the fertilizer who transformed me.
Yet neither are who I am
or will become.
Not Understanding Myself
You think you know someone
only to discover
they have a part
previously unknown
of surprising depth
and pain.
We all try to find “ourselves”
and sometimes it is a pleasant surprise.
Other times it is terrify
to find out what you have become
in order to have survived.
