Huddled under the blanket.
The only warmth
to be found
is in the space occupied
by my body.
Fetal position.
Legs cramping.
Stretching them
before pulling them back
into the only warmth found
despite the cramps.
Too cold to do anything
but shiver.
The night lasts longer
when sleep
is overridden by need for not freezing.
When the will is exceeded.
Strength defied.
Energy spent
and not returned.
How tough
does one have to be
in order to realize
not all strength
is a sign of being tough
but merely a handful of thoughts
Society wants us to exhibit?
I see things.
My mind plays tricks on me.
I wander through aimless.
Somedays.
My life is full of oddities.
What colour do you see in my eyes?
I see all of them!
Follow directions.
Inspiration to come.
Find the details.
Process your feelings.
Technical problems.
Sleep through the meeting.
Call in sick.
Never double your doubt.
Truth hurts.
Telling a lie is worse.
Mispronounced
Or unintentional apropos
Mistakes are made
And sometimes
Hilarious
Though
More often
Deadly
In nature
When the victim
Cannot be helped
Before
Exploding.
Snot rags
And
Pooping paper.
Both are used
Most daily.
Handkerchiefs aside
While bidets
Gain popularity.
Or maybe the advertisements
Have been streamlined
Like the news.
Anything is possible
if you choose the right action.
Consequences are the result
but how often do we see them
before they come to fruition?
Push onward
until your will gives out.
Or use the time to find yourself
before you damage what you seek so desperately.
The sky is clear today.
Winds are fierce.
The sun is just starting to rise.
Snow still blankets the ground.
Problems will arise.
Until then enjoyment of the day is serene.
I’ve done all I can.
It was enough at the time.
Now I am supposed to give more.
What more can I give?
My dreams are flying away from me
and I have no wings to follow.
Bombs and other weapons
of mass destruction
seem like an easy option.
Yet medicine
or lack there of
is just as effective
to those who can not afford it.
Why do we hurt
the innocent ones
that should be protected?
Life is pain
but so is joy.
Right now
there is too much pain.
