Here we are again my pretties,
A chorus of confused thoughts lost at sea.

A broken record of questions,
Incessant curiosity for what's around the corner.

But this is a day
A day I'm in
A sky so quiet
It chose me to listen
I'm in this day
A day of blue.

I didn't feel joy in that place of paradise,
Is this me sunk in a vat of viscous apathy?

I admire the cat wandering aimlessly,
Basking in the sun.
The beautiful majestic feline I long to be, free.

Then a wind surrounded me
A hug so personal
I froze.
I'm in this day,
I belong to it
A day better than tomorrow.

Skeletal branches wait patiently,
Unfazed by frost, by Mondays.
I love them fiercely
Lightning-struck scars and all.

Today is the time for me
This breath is alive
The air is mine
My lungs are the trees
This day is mine
They gave it to me.

I follow my own path
And if the world rejects me
For who I am
Let them have their laugh

I focus on what I want
Things may not be easy
But easy things don’t really last

The world keeps spinning
Regardless of who you are
Going slow or going fast
We all have our own pace
Don’t compare,
It’s not fair to yourself

You were meant for this Earth
Even if things don’t seem that way
Sometimes our vision may be blurred
But there may be a lesson to be learned
Love yourself it’s a truth untold
Follow your path,
It’s a life of your own

Life is much like a hard math problem you can't seem to solve.
You try and try to solve it when you start to lack resolve.
At this point, you typically have three choices; you can give up, ask for help, or try to figure out how to solve it.
And you suddenly must decide which is the better fit or in which outcome you will benefit.

Life....!

When do you know, the how’s and why’s, of what we all call life
Does it come to you in a message or in the form of a knife

If it comes to you as a knife, let's hope it's not in the back
Being able to see and face the knife, will certainly, lessen the attack

Life is real, can be really tough, and it's up to you to see
The wonder and the beauty, along with life's form of debris

Getting hit in the back, with the knife of life, can ruin anyone's day
If you can see it coming, move aside, and get out of the way....!

Inspired by watching life as we age...
I'm watching life and remembering things along the way..
Being stabbed in the back by life was never easy.
I'm sure we have all experienced this part of life...!

The door closed. I left.
A few meaningless words,
At the best of times.
Usually, a stranger.

The movie ended.
The hall cleared.
The credits rolled on.
The next movie starts.

Education's a farce.
Money making, paper printing.
The educated worst off,
deluded that they are.

A little goes a long way.
A little nudge is the difference:
from a catastrophic impact,
to a heavenly fiery show.

But it takes time.

One, two, three...
I wake up again to this reality,
Dull smiles, fake faces that insist to hide.
For people tend to cover what they really feel inside.

Hey...
Didn't you feel the world already ended?
Don't you notice that the usual excitements have already faded?
To this game we have played we've been already defeated.

Hush...
Don't cry...
No one will see your tears.
Wear your mask,
it's alright...
This world has already been swallowed with fears.

This chain that restricted us to fly up high,
To feel the breeze and the horizon on the line of this endless sky.
We are dancing in the palm of this cruel reality,
Driving us to the end of our innocence and sanity.
Reality can be harsh at times, it will come at us without any warning. I always felt that, I lost that excitement feeling whenever I discover something new or events happens. Maybe it's because the world is changing and so do us.

Your green skin sun-baked,
Crunchy and crispy.
Gummed rice lay over,
Sticky and mushy.
Orangey carrot sliced thin,
Fishy Fish chopped symmetrically,
Unwilling they aligned
bearing the cacophony of sticky and crispy.

Nescient avocado,
Addle-pated eggy,
joined the jarring combination.
Grudgingly they were rolled,
Trimmed into circular disk.
Melding of those was awry
Heedlessly the dish a masterpiece,
Loved by small and Big
Praised by all.

Whatever things may be,
Bad from the start,
Dont be sad for the end
For it may be different,
From what you expect.
Do enjoy it!!!

When you left

You taught me
To only love men
who do not know of all the ways a heart can be shape shifted into broken
