I know a guy.
Angry. Festering
in disappointment
of the world
and of himself.
A little depressed.
Sick of doing
the same. freaking.
thing. every day.
Wondering where
his lost youth went.
Hungering to replace
the comfort and
all the good things
in his life that
have gone away.
But resolutely
continuing on
doing his duty.
Living with the pain.
Loving while he can.
Taking any little
laugh he can find.
Then doing it all
over again. Perhaps
you know him too.
Perhaps we all do
— inside.

Queen of Self
Work hard, enrobe yourself in velvet hope, and rule your world!
Coldhearted
Hail is angry rain.
Perfectionism
I beat myself up every day without so much as a scratch.
Ember
days in winter
fall so short —
as the sun sets
loneliness rises
no Physics
dancing under midnight stars
on damp grass in the dark —
a good friend by my side
youth’s music in our ears
wildcats watching hereaway
in the cool fall desert night —
zero credit hours for school
but dozens of them for life
Groove
Good music can make the difference between a mediocre workout and a slamdamfantastic workout!
Agonistic
The toughest battle is Mind.
Stellar
Winter’s cold-black celestial canvas showcases
the twinkling anatomy of Orion and his skymates…
Sir Reality
Some colors exist in dreams that are not present in the waking spectrum.
Daze in a rut
At a certain point, some of us just sit down and watch the rest of our lives
