I’ll win, but at what cost I’ll bring it home, to what applause I’ll reign supreme, yet the mudslide is thick I’ll cross the finish line, with aches and broken bones Talk to me without the advesarial stance We can dance to careless whispers Hopscothing in the moonlight […]
Waning Not gaining Gaming Waiving goodbye Striving Thriving Yet tiring Fighting But no good fights Pause Reset Go again It never ends Until it does
Darkness calls The moon beckons Stark mind and heart Fight, fight, fight Box through the haze Find the light It is somewhere
Sprinklers Killer blinkers Raindrops Mountain tops Tired eyes Pies of lies Bloodlines and flood tides Caught up in your mudslides
It feels like a dream A soft yet thumping dream Shrouded in a deep, thick cloud Living each moment in mid-state Wondering what’s real Wondering when will I hit the wall Consciously acting Yet not consciously processing Tickled to tears of fear
It’s a mindshift. It’s an easing of the stomache. It’s a calming of a fidgety leg. It’s listening to the music It’s blocking out the noise. Turning down the volume. Facing fear head-on. It’s dancing with fear.
It’ll huff It’ll puff It’ll knock your core down Then you lift the door knocker yourself Knock, knock A cacophony of wails Trying to keep one’s poker face But lady gaga we are not
Not just adulation Not just applause Not just appreciation Not just admiration Not just acknowledgement Not just a pat on the back Not just affection I want my name on the marquee
The warriors The nurturers The tough love group The haters The envious The believers The skeptics The warm smilers The angry mob The tone deaf The amplifiers The hand holders The shoulder givers The ones with faith I am because of them
Bitter Sour Biting Scalding Blue Silent Boxed in Startled Betrayed Sacrifice Babble Sinister Chew up the rage and spit out the venom.
