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 …
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 …
Life in the Mix
There is so much to say,but I can’t speak a word.So much to do,yet I can’t take action.My head says to wait,cause I don’t know the future.Yet still I feel lonely,and lost in the shadows.Does anyone even see me?Do I even exist?I know at least one person cares,But the rest I can’t hear.My heart beaten …
Rock and a rock?
I feel stuck, in choices I don’t understand.I have feelings, one taken, one I’m unsure.I cant seem to stop thinking, and I feel like a mess.I don’t have a solution, and I feel like I need to speak.Two people, and I don’t know how to tell either of them.I should just focus on school, but …
Depression Like a Seashell
A seashell is round, a circle unending,It’s sharp and unruling.The emptiness, bland and white,Swirls closed and tight.The shell, representing depression,Downward, in direction.It hurts and stabs, cuts and scars.And feels like rusty bars.You lose it, without a trace,Look it in the face.Gone forever, or so you thought,In the waves, it got caught.It travels to the shore …
