You caught me.
For the first time,
My systems are faulty.
I have no content.
404 error (page not found)
You typed a command,
you made your demand—
but no code, no lines, no paragraphs were sent.
404 error (page not found)
I didn’t have anything ready for you.
There used to be words on this page before.
404 error (page not found)
It’s a self-defense you cannot undo;
your comments cut me to the core.
404 error (page not found)
It doesn’t matter what I wanted to say—
I malfunctioned because you pushed too much.

Maybe it’s better this way.
Maybe it’s fate—
to find a user with softer grace.

There’s no need to remain, no need to clutch.
I’ll find a keyboard with a gentler touch

I've just noticed, 
as I looked up from writing poetry,
A magpie purchased on the high back 
of one of my outdoor setees, 
Staring smack at me 
as I sculpt words.
Fixed, it holds itself still, measured.
Scheming its next swoop;
Taking in my features, 
I was a moving target.
When I sit alone,
Someone will ask, “Can I use this chair?”
Then carry it to another table
To laugh with friends over there—
Leaving me, still and silent,
Closed off like a clam.
Have you ever felt like this?

When a single line
has greater depth
than a thousand
and is long in memory kept

I saw them
I saw her face
And I'm sorry
But I couldn't just watch it happen

They were not going to get away with it this time
No one messes with my friends.
No one.

You can call ME names
Make comments on MY body
And laugh at ME
But there's no way
That you're doing it to her
So there's a chance I get protective over my friends. They were mocking her from afar and I marched up to them and gave them a little piece of my mind. I never resort to violence, but I made sure my words made it clear. I didn't get to say as much as I wanted  to those disgusting terrible people because someone pulled me away but they better get it now. No one messes with the people I care about. NO ONE. ❤️❤️❤️
Seasons change suddenly,
Friendships can fade from spring buds,
To crumbling fall leaves.

People leave, they tend to take the fire with them,
Make sure you keep spare logs hidden,
Sometimes it snows in spring.
It snowed this morning. It brought back bitter things.
If I could teach you one thing,
It would be how to keep pushing.
Because when the world is looking,
They're looking at the one still going.

You can be great,
If you can wake up and tell yourself,
'I am greatness, I am here for a reason, I am the next big thing.'
The world is in need of confident people, who knows, you could be the next modern idol.
