Empathy
the ability to
understand and share the feelings
of others
This was too long for the Author's note so I am just putting it here.
When someone paints you as a monster or other things it's not nice. If someone feels like they need to kick me more because I said that then do what you need to I guess. I had to send someone a message due to an issue and it was hard because in this case I didn't think they meant anything bad by it and I continued to stress about how to address it because I didn't want them to feel bad. Turns out it was just...

They Come and Go
They come and go
Passers-by
They stop to refuel and then go on their way
Some stay a little longer to browse
Shop
Getting to know the locals
Then they disappear into the highway
Some stay awhile
Make friends
They begin to thrive in this strange town
Calling it a home
And then one day, just as they came in
They vanish into the night
They come and go
These travelers
Traversing the universe
Sharing stories and telling tales
And the shop keepers
With wanderlust
Wonder what’s beyond ...

Two Lane Highway
It’s a quiet road where one lane heads north, the other south.
I travel life on both sides of this road especially at night.
Never ever meeting the illustrious middle.
Always sunny on the north side, never allowing pain and grief in this cavernous hole of loneliness.
The south side is where I live most comfortably.
Where my real self dwells-
It knows my pain and inner most sorrow.
The disappointment of failures only said aloud in my head and immediately denied.
In silent desperation I drive...

thoughts from a switchblade
I'm angry so I'll let loose in a poem
there's something wrong
my demons whisper it's gossip
or am I just paranoid?
I have refused them entry to my heart
carrying this burden alone
denying any problem
lest they get under my skin
I'm trying to wait it out
hoping things will pass
but things seem to be getting worse
it could be people are just sick of me
I don't blame you
I'm bad-ass with a pen
when my feelings are hurt
my tongue becomes a switchblade
cutting to the bone
with one quick movement...

Foggy Thoughts
Have you every as a child perched yourself up in the window
Waiting in heavy anticipation for the arrival of someone that you know
Maybe it's your father's weekend to pick you up again
Maybe this time he wont lie like he's done time and time again
Just maybe it's the holidays and your grandparents are coming to visit
The most precious memories that you have are of their visits
You sat in that window watching as the hours slipped by
With your heart growing heavier and heavier and you trying not to cry
Maybe you're a hungry kid and the...

A Girl So Ugly
I once knew a girl so ugly
she had the boys eating out of her hand
like a sleazy car salesman
selling them on views and likes
made believe she would be theirs
but she never truly cared
I once knew a girl so ugly
she manipulated me
tried to get me to backstab a friend
gaslighted till I said things I never meant
cried on my shoulder like she was the victim
all while playing her pawns
I once knew a girl so ugly
she just made shit up
about her life, about how busy she was
I tried to understand
saying...

Safe?
After the second massacre in a few days
Gay club in Colorado and hit from a disgruntled employe
At at Walmart In Virginia
A woman says that she is pleased that her daughter
Opted not to go to VirginiaTech where she would be a Freshman
But to another school where she would be safer
Big news for you, lady:
There is no such thing as a safe place in the US
Ok: no safe place anywhere in the world, but nowadays
In the US with the crazy 2A you are sitting on a time bomb,
No place to hide.

Eager
Try as she may
Never quite getting her way
A fuck for your thoughts?
Being too eager
Makes real love never find its way
Never quite getting her way
A fuck for your thoughts?
Being too eager

IS IT HELLO...or IS IT GOOD-BYE
IS IT HELLO OR GOOD-BYE
Too many untold secrets, far too many lies
Too many times we hid from each others eyes
What was it about me, that you need space
Where was it that I fell from your honor & grace
When will you seek me, will it again ever come
Will you ever speak up and stop playing mum
Winter's falling upon us; far away from Spring
Pondering tomorrow and what it might bring
When thinking of you; us together side by side
I start smiling and singing for only a little while
Then it will soon vanish as...
Too many untold secrets, far too many lies
Too many times we hid from each others eyes
What was it about me, that you need space
Where was it that I fell from your honor & grace
When will you seek me, will it again ever come
Will you ever speak up and stop playing mum
Winter's falling upon us; far away from Spring
Pondering tomorrow and what it might bring
When thinking of you; us together side by side
I start smiling and singing for only a little while
Then it will soon vanish as...

Real me kinda sucks
Good intentions unexpressed
Missed the boat again
Good intentions unexpressed
Missed the boat again

Dubiety
There are countless poems...un-writ
Ready for delusions grandeur
Or the brief brilliance of a twit
Renown as a silly raconteur
Due to his love for his own voice
And for the love of errant thought
That lets his jaded brain rejoice
In any manner that it's got.
But jocund quips are not in vogue
When everyone is in a snit
And good intentions will turn rogue,
If they can get away with it...
To harvest, from an ear of scorn,
Old melancholy newly born.
Ready for delusions grandeur
Or the brief brilliance of a twit
Renown as a silly raconteur
Due to his love for his own voice
And for the love of errant thought
That lets his jaded brain rejoice
In any manner that it's got.
But jocund quips are not in vogue
When everyone is in a snit
And good intentions will turn rogue,
If they can get away with it...
To harvest, from an ear of scorn,
Old melancholy newly born.
