Looking up and ahead
Amazing what you can notice when you are not fixated on your cell phone or ipod.
Sky colors change and have nuance
The wind rearranges depth and scope of everything it touches
You can take your time and take it in or not
While
Walking

I quaff

everyday i find myself here
sitting in a bar stool drinking another beer
it's already been half a year
with my memory of each day not always clear
and yet i quaff and i quaff
with no ability to turn it off
then i stumble back into work
telling myself this is only a perk
just a little quirk
to get me through work

quaff pronounced "kwa-off"
I found the word "quaff" in Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven. He used it to imply alcoholism. Apparently it was similar to the word "Gulp"

On that particular sunny day
I looked in the mirror
and saw a rainy day
embracing the silver lining
behind me stood the love
I had saved up for
touching my hair
and gently stroking the grey
Her love outshines the grey

The crashing feeling
The stress inducing
The nauseating
The heart racing

Feeling

Constant fear
Constant feelings of doubt
The feeling that something bad
Is going to happen
I wish for no more
Stress
Nausea
          
I wish for no more    
  Anxiety
This was written exactly a year ago, I’m kinda better now
The Scar of shame
Won't leave a mark or
Blemish the skin
But something deep within
Is bent, maybe even
Broken,
Such a scar makes one
Avoid looking at
Mirrors
At it's reflection...
Who is it looking back,
Do you recognize the one inside
Or dismiss looking at your eyes?
Who are you that you dispise?
Shameful
