Save Your Soul

Name the nameless

Voice the mute

Sight the blind

Encourage the hopeless

Fill the shallow

Redeem the damned

Stand for the defenseless

Stolen or Broken

What poisons my mind

Holds my hand

While singing a chant

“What if I can’t”

I fold my cards

I hold no aces

I show no traces

Of what once was

I fight to be

what was me

As if I was stolen

Or maybe just broken

Sour Grief

I can feel it in my bones

The disappointment, the stress

The dissatisfaction, the frustration

The loss and the grief

A world turned sour

And my complete disbelief

Love Story

Show me a clip of that movie

That plays in your heart

A preview of the love

So much love, you hold inside

Is all that for me?

A love story to be.

Afterward

He yelled at the silence

After listening

Pled with the darkness

After seeing

He hid in a crowd

After being

Almost drowned

After breathing

Mystery Code

Each node is a cypher

A line of code to break

I’ve moved through all the keys

And nothing seems to take

You’re a mystery to me

And understanding I cannot fake

I will have to let it be

It’s a code I cannot break

[therealmob22022]

Let’s start over again

Let’s pretend without disdain

All of the things that made it bad

the things we did

To make each other sad

If I could give

A chunk of my life

To live it over

With no trials or strife

I would turn this ship around

Even land it aground

To start a new life

I have no way to vocalize

I win or lose

give up the prize

I never feel

I’m sanctified

and who’s to say I should

Murky, at Best

Wow, I can win this thing

Take it totally out of control

Run it up the flag pole

See who really cares

I was right

All along

But the joy I feel

Is murky at best

You were small, could fit in my child-like hands, and I remembered thinking of all the ways I could show you I loved you.

You were sick and covered in sores and fleas. They did not care for you the way they had promised. You shook uncontrollably when I had to give you several baths and medicine. I didn’t even have time to feel sorry for you, I just wanted you to be better.

You cried for 6 days straight. Every night when I turned off the light and put you in your bed, you’d whine so much that my father would come downstairs just to yell at both of us, which never stopped anyone from crying. It wasn’t until I gave in and put you in my bed that I understood that you just wanted to sleep on my chest.

You were unhappy when I had to move away from home. Mom said that you didn’t eat most of the time and you slept in my room where my bed used to be. I tried to see you as much as I could, but I regretted leaving you every single day. When I looked for another apartment, I made it clear that you would be with me.

Now we sit outside together and you are in my lap, staring at everyone walking past us. I think of all the nights that I hoped you were happy. I think of my 3 am crying fits that you always comforted me through.

We are finally together and at peace. I hold you in my aging hands. I think of all the ways I can love you.

Thought Test

What kind of quiz is it?

What kind of test?

I haven’t had a moment

To prepare,

A moment to run.

You see,

I’m not good at this,

I’m hardly good

At anything at all,

Especially inquiries

Into my thoughts.
