Today as I look at this world,I see strain and I see struggle.I see a nation divided.I see our leaders arguing.The media tells us the story,But that’s just what it is.They tell us what we need to hear,What we need to see,What will convince us to believe.They twist a tangle web of lies,And they dress …

Trapped in a mystery
Is it stress or depression? I don’t know but it makes me feel heavy. A burden on my chest that I just cant carry. I need to talk, but i dont know why. I need to get it off, but what is it? I’m hurting and i dont know why. Emotions are stirring and for …
Night Shift
It’s dark and quiet.It’s work while the world is asleep.I am one of many,Working through the night.Some work in cars with flashing lights,Others work in hospitals with blaring alarms.Some work in trucks with large loads.Some work in places like me,Big buildings with lots of shelves.All these jobs keep the economy going.All these jobs keep you …
The War Continues
This is a celebration,But also a prayer.For we made it through one,And live to tell the tale.The one became 4,With no end in site.This virus, this strain,The same four walls.I just want out!!!The stupid piece of fabric,A mask we all must wear.It makes me feel more,Like the me in my past.I hated the mask then,And …

Essential but not Forgotten
In this time of distress,Viral instability and unrest.This goes out to all,In positions without thanks.Medical staff, and grocery stores,Truck drivers and restaurants.To those who cant go home,Cause it puts their family at risk.First responders and military,For your brave service.To those in masks,And those in gloves.To all working at homeOr risking at the office.Everyone who works,In …
The Past, Present and Who Knows
And confirmed what I knew.Love has broken me,Love has destroyed me.Love made me not want to fully experience it.The truth is,I don’t know anymore.I’m damaged,But beyond repair?That might be the pain talking,And the very thing that turned me off.But now there’s a girl.We both swore off dating,At least till after college is over.We share the …
Relief
Its been a while.I haven’t sat down to write in too long.It’s time I make a habit with a huge update.I don’t remember when it started, but I know the journey.So a story with no beginning, is kind of incomplete.Well buckle up, cause you’ll learn all about it.Initially I stopped writing,But not cause I wanted …
Life as it has Become
Where did it all go?The friends I have all missing,The fire in my heart just dying.What happened to life?I work to many hours,I can’t catch a break.I miss being me,And I don’t know who I am.The stress, the struggle,The anxiety, the pain.Is this who I’ve become?My friends don’t even notice,Is this the new normal?Am I …
