The Puppet Master
When I signed
The application
No idea of
THE JOB
I didn't feel
the strings attach
nor the latches from
THE SOD.
It took too long to notice
what I had become
stuck inside a wooden box
that only made
ME NUMB.
I thought about
the words I used
to capture all of my skills.
not knowing this
would mean a place
for you to catch
YOUR THRILLS.
For now I see
they were so cheap
they only give me chills
Turning to a monster

Twist and Shake .
When you are feeling blue and stressed why do your senses think it's a good time to party all day and might.
You can't sleep as your mind is faster than your broadband it's on speed at 301 terabits per second.
But your body is on the opposite side of the coin your legs and feet you would swear on the holy bible in court that they have been filled with cement. The only saving grace is that they haven't set yet.
Why has your hearing morphed into that of a bat at 120dB its a constant hammering of a pneumatic drill that makes you jump out of your skin.

Dust to Rust
I bust my ass to feed you
and pay for all these bills
All I get is backlash
for interruption of your thrills
I ask for contribution
lighter then the air
Still, you fight against me
As if I'm not even there
I have to teach you lessons
to prepare you for this life
your choice to disconnect me
Has only caused you strife
At this rate you will not make it
For the life you live is slack
Please know that your decision
is one you can't take back
NPC is how you see me ...

Folks
The intelligence
I have learned
Through adversity.
Is miniscule.
To the
Resilience
I own.
As a child
of
Exceptional Parents.

Taking responsibility for our own actions
Is a commitment to self-discipline and accountability
It’s empowering
Whereas the victim mentality is a reactionary view
When looking for pity
Just because life can be hard sometimes…
Outside factors don’t care what we want
What we think
What we say
But remember our happiness lies within
In our own state of mind
And what matters most
is how we respond
The choices we make define us
We can choose to be weak
and blame everyone else for shortcomings ...

I will be responsible for my actions.
My feet track through the sand.
It is evening, the sun not quite gone, but past sunset.
The beach is long, the sand is cold.
Keeping a steady pace,
a presence seems to join me.
I can feel it staring.
As my eyes begin to release a steady stream,
I hear it speak:
"Why are you crying?"
My steps falter, then continue,
a little slower and stiffer than before.
My hands are cold.
It continues "I do not hold any resentment."
The words feel honest,
like an attempt to soothe. ...

Boundaries in Bloom
In the garden of my heart, where love’s roots run deep,
There blooms a tough, tender truth I must keep.
Among the thorns of harsh words, under weeping willow trees,
I plant my feet firmly, nurtured by a gentle breeze.
A table placed with care, a gift chosen with thought,
Yet the feast of affection cold, the present left to rot.
Words, like autumn leaves, fall sharp and unkind,
I gather them softly peace, the treasure I find.
Boundaries, like blossoms, unfold with grace,
Marking the space where respect must be returned.
The tangled weeds of...
There blooms a tough, tender truth I must keep.
Among the thorns of harsh words, under weeping willow trees,
I plant my feet firmly, nurtured by a gentle breeze.
A table placed with care, a gift chosen with thought,
Yet the feast of affection cold, the present left to rot.
Words, like autumn leaves, fall sharp and unkind,
I gather them softly peace, the treasure I find.
Boundaries, like blossoms, unfold with grace,
Marking the space where respect must be returned.

washing up on shore
just each
concept
of the
water's edge
there
are changes,
some more
urgent
accounts,
some old
shuffling
and trying
to balance
the random
inconsideration
still washing
up on
shore.

If the world gave up...
If the world gave up,
I would still be fighting.
Because I love to love.
Fuck what the world says:
"Love means only some."
"love isn't worth the hate."
I love the silver linings.
If the world gave up,
I would still be standing.
I broke the chains of shame and crying.
Or I am older now, but the world is older.
Though even elders make cracks in the pavements walked by youth.
If the world gave up,
I would be tempted.
Making the most is hard, I know.
But if the world went ghost, I would...
I would still be fighting.
Because I love to love.
Fuck what the world says:

The NO! machine malfunction
Eeny meenie miney moe,
my day is flying – watch it go!
The to-do list is like a rope
around my neck – there is no hope…
…that I can get out of this heap
when every task is layers deep
and messages won’t quit – BEEP BEEP!
and people keep on asking me…
…to do the things I promised them.
What was I thinking way back then??
My stupid optimistic mind
has bit me in my own behind!
There’s only one thing this could mean --
I have to fix my NO! machine.
my day is flying – watch it go!

Sniper Files #3 The Kill
As the moon hung low in the night sky, casting shadows across the deserted alley, I watched them from the rooftop opposite the dimly lit apartment building. The general's daughter, Olena, stood on the balcony, her silhouette joined by that of her lover, Andrei. They seemed lost in each other, unaware of the danger lurking in the darkness below.
I adjusted the scope on my rifle, my breath steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. This was the moment I had trained for, the mission I had been assigned by my superiors. But as I stared through the crosshairs, doubt...
