They Aren’t a Problem

Your way

is not everyone else’s way

Learn that.

A Weapon

To some words fly off the tongue

they fade into the wind

For others, they invade like a disease, and kill them

Slowly

Benefit from Their Mistakes

He told me a story of how he regretted

not doing things he dreamed of

That alerted me

After that day, I quit, never went back

Boundary Issue

If you put me in a box,

They’d charge you an arm and a leg for shipping

I’m good on your box.

Help!: A Great Prayer

Send someone!

Let’em fall out the sky!

We’ll figure somethin’ out…

Remember That

Inside believed I had no one

then remembered,

there was me.

[coryballad]

Overtook

In that moment

peace overtook me

there was contentment in the still

The Mighty Equalizer

Thought you were on some boss shit

til she made you realize

how little your sauce actually does drip.

Scary Movies be Like

When alone in that alley,

please do not dilly-dally

if it is after dark,

do not stroll in the park

don’t you lay out on that beach

after midnight has been reached

there’s a stalker in your presence

there’s someone at your door

there’s a spill that you can’t explain

on your kitchen floor

there’s a passenger in your car

that you did not know about

there’s a figure in the shadows

and it seeks to take you out

so when it reveals itself,

run to your neighbor’s house

and lock the door behind you

better hide and scream and shout

better flail, and pant, and cry, and shutter with dread

and when it penetrates your force field,

you should shoot it in the head

then the people will rejoice

for the fiend has died,

but shortly after it is unveiled

it just went off to hide

it will return for a sequel to your doomsday.

Awakening

Those few months flew

The changes, apparent, seem enough to span a lifetime

You are completely different

Cruel Tricks, Funny Stories

Had a senior moment

flushed my teeth

down the toilet.

[coryballad]

How it Be

You go through a lot of stuff

to figure out a lot of stuff

to still be confused

The Bad Thing about Rejection

Rejection is no fun,

it hurts,

leaves you broken-hearted

[coryballad]

Sleep is an Escape

I don’t want to go back to sleep

but sometimes I get discouraged.

You see I would much rather get up and go on

but there is that thing nagging at me,

telling me I am not good enough.

I try to fight it off,

it seems like every day I beat the hell out of it,

it’s back and better than ever the next day

and every day I’m a little more worn down

than the last time.

Maybe I fear one of these days

I won’t have enough to kick its ass.

Makes me wonder, “Is it really a big deal to just stay here all day?”

The Good Thing about Rejection

Rejection is a good thing,

it strengthens,

leaves you resilient

Begged for food, They said no, Mentioned loud, They said let’s go.

Find the Right Words

If you can’t think of anything to say

Don’t rush.  Say nothing

Let the words come to you
