Vega Lyra
I’ve crashed with exhaustion for days
I’ve been depressed lost in a haze
I’ve had a dry spell in my inkwell
When I fell and felt those years were hell
And just when I wanted to be dead
The best years of my life were still ahead
I’ve had yearning for knowledge
Burning for more degrees beyond college
A thirst like I’ve walked the Sahara
A hunger for data
I’ve wanted to expand my mind
But now feel like I’m running out of time
Education has helped me in life
A guiding light through strife
When in dark phases I...

Unsolicited Fortune Teller
Sitting in Sunday school class
with a group of high school friends
all of us the same age
but I was a grade behind
our teacher spoke of careers
we might pursue
after graduating school
he was in computer sales
working for Big Blue
my dad, an Electrical Engineer
just happened to work there too
when the instructor
began suggesting jobs each of us could do
to one, “you'd be an excellent programmer”
to another “a top -notch chip designer”
because of their mathematical acuity
and to me he says,

Dorm Room
Their dads snapped a photo with pride
Their mothers quietly cried.
The daughters they kissed
Would soon find their bliss
With boys who fell by her sides.
Their mothers quietly cried.
The daughters they kissed
Would soon find their bliss
With boys who fell by her sides.

A Daughter Drifting
In the quiet of her daughter’s bedroom, she sat with shades drawn.
Looking down at her hands she questioned God.
How does a treasure, so fiercely guarded, slip through open fingers?
The lips of my child that once whispered prayers at this bedside
now give pleasure to the unworthy. How can flesh of my flesh
yield with such ease to the fickle dance of an adolescent boy’s desire?
What were her prayers at the moment of his coming? Were they
prayers for grace or of thanksgiving?
Did she feel pleasure or sadness?

The Value of Self Knowledge
As I apply for a scholarship
To pay the intuition
For a well established
State Institution,
I’m reminded by a puff of smoke
Entering the hippocampus
That such thoughts
Must share a dorm
Meant for dueling patience.
Majoring in substance abuse,
Your councilor suggests
Laying off the hard stuff.
Bit on the nose
But you take her advice
Trading DSM-5 for
An anonymous substitute.
“Study for your UA?”
Balked the TA.
“Not Today,”
‘S what I’d say
If I hadn’t flunked out
Twice already – ...

Should have went with your gut
A boy and a girl from the university drive home through a bad part of town at night
She told him to go this way,
claiming this was a shortcut to the neighborhood
He didn't agree but listened to her anyway
At a stop light, a rock smashes their windshield
The girl is startled
The guy gets out of the car and takes a look around
There is a gunshot
The bullet goes into his left thigh
He screams and falls down
Two teenagers approach the car
They shoot the boy one more time
This shot is the fatal one
Right between the eyes

Everything is Important
(and Nothing is More Important Than Everything)
Given the calculations and parameters I’ve set within time limits and resources
I am lacking in the stimulus and motivation to continue my education
Presently as my overall health and condition has been in a slow decline for years
It is no excuse to place a mental obstacle rendering me to a state of obfuscation
With that in mind, a fear of success has created a parabolical intellectual block
Anticipating a physical exhaustion with a rather unreal anxiety of the unknown
But it lies more in the...

Fear of Success
I had thought about returning to college for several years
But the fear of success had kept me in the dark for a while
“It’s too difficult, I’m too old, I don’t have the money or time”
All the excuses I had in my mind filled my heart with anxiety
But for far too long I was feeling I had hit a glass ceiling
The lack of a degree kept my career stalled or at a stand still
Until one day I decided to go back to the old campus
Seeing the buildings and students gave me an old thrill
So that day, standing there on the university campus

A Windy Monday
This morning I thought I’d reach out and touch you
But you weren't lying next to me
I walked outside and found you
I found you'd already left me
But soon I’d be joining you in the sky
Given flight by a murderous passerby
Tell them what you want about sorrow and regret
Show them what you think will help make them forget
Strength in numbers means nothing today
We've all been taken away and there's nothing you could ever do or say
The wind blows with such a hateful moan
It's a shame the rain has left us all alone
Short-lived...
But you weren't lying next to me

THE EXAMINATION DESK
It was the day of nine o’clock G.C.S.E math’s exam. We lined up outside the lunch hall like conscripts awaiting basic training. The black painted mesh of the bike shed was flaking. I picked at it. I felt sick. I snuck into the drama block to smoke a roll up. It made me even sicker. I came back, I took my tie off, and then my jumper.
‘Where’s your tie?’ said Mr. Clumper.
‘I don’t feel well, you don’t need to a tie to pass an exam,’ I said.
‘Rules are rules. Put your tie back on.’
I obeyed. I looked at my friend. He was browsing a revision book. He was...
