Poetry

It is not hard to make something friendly.

Time and patience are required.

It is also easier when there is no available funds to draw upon.

Not knowing what will happen next.

Anger and denial are not here yet.

Anticipatory in the future bad news.

Always alone and misunderstood.

I don’t want to be cruel.

I just want to know when I can be allowed to grieve.

I was programmed differently.

Sensitive was the catchphrase.

I never understood why I never fit in.

Even my family confused me.

They would say one thing and act a different way.

Later I learned why.

None of it was my fault growing up.

I just live with the consequences.

Fanciful

Plain

Wishful

Demanding

Blue

White

Black

Underpaid

Overwhelmed

Tightened

Loosened

Anxiety

Attack

Leave

I think I understand what they have said.

It is what they tried to imply that went over my head.

My reflexes are average so I only catch so much.

The rest has to wait until someone explains it to me.

Mrs. Chance walked the line.

Her husband fell behind.

He saw the blaze.

She choose to ignore him.

No harm could fall upon the believer.

Phrases used lightly.

Disguises come off.

Friendships destroyed.

Words backed into a corner.

Kill the spotlight.

Jumpstart the morgue.

Arguments are universal.

Opinions can be dividing.

Smarten up your conversation.

Or leave the party entirely.

No one wins when all we do is talk.

What happens to the world when someone finally wins their point?

To live forever.

Immortality is a joke.

Beautiful and thin.

Genetics can be cruel.

Famous and adored.

Stalkers don’t need excuses.

Money the world over.

Billionaires are greedy.

Political equality.

Politics suck.

Gender acceptance.

Biases are not forgiven.

Belief in religion.

Science gives us answers.

Faith is a good thing

but only if you remember why you have it.

The world is better

when people make it better.

Disappointed.

I lacked the most crucial thing

which in other times was merely a courtesy.

When will I learn to be more prepared

so I do not have to have this hollow feeling inside?
