For the Escape Artists.

Playing a game. Casting magic. Exploring.Or reading a book of adventure, not boring. Watching a movie of a place far away,Or writing out demons to keep them at bay. What magic there is to be flying the clouds.And wishing you never have to come down. Be a swordsman, a ranger, a solider in space.Something elseContinue reading “For the Escape Artists.”

A Hero or a Villain?

Everyone is a hero in their storyAnd everyone is a villain as well. The villains think themselves the heroes and the heroes tell the villains “Go to h***” But whether a hero or whether a villain there’s something everyone should know. The heroes and villains are quite frankly just people with hurt they dare notContinue reading “A Hero or a Villain?”

In the Mirror

Take a look in the mirror. What do you do you see? Are you someone you like to be? Do you focus on the outside? Or does the inside matter more? Do you listen to others? Or just talk, talk, and bore? Do you put first your own heart? Or heed the hearts of others?Continue reading “In the Mirror”

Trusty, Old, Page

Every writer hurts. Every writer cries. Many writers don’t know how to speak why. When emotions boil up. The valve is under pressure. You can’t give a word and hold it all together. If you can’t speak and you can’t explain. Just turn to the one thing to help you maintain A calm and maturityContinue reading “Trusty, Old, Page”

Let Me Go

I know when I’m not wanted. I know when I’m in the way. I know when my value is stolen away. Have your fun. Have your win. Let me have a fresh chance to begin. Something new and away from you. Away from the drama that you all brew. My business is my own. NotContinue reading “Let Me Go”

I hurt

I don’t want to rise I don’t want to work I just want to stay inside Because I’m so tired, I hurt Just a few more minutes Let me steal proper sleep I’m nearing my limitsThen harm will I reap A thankless job So physically exhausting. Like fighting a mob It’s overwhelmingly daunting A hundredContinue reading “I hurt”

Capture the Flag Poem

Written in 2013 Hidden, I plot my course. Anxious, heart-pounding, My team undergoing cunning force.Their flag, our flag, the sun grounding. A shout, a call, I’m seen.Panicking, I flee to the enemy,“Wrong way!” my team screams.But a thought, a plan, a hole’s my remedy. He fell, it worked! To my base I bolt.I ran, myContinue reading “Capture the Flag Poem”

Oh, To Be…

Oh, to be needed. Oh, to be wanted. Oh, to be something valued and spotted. But, not to be, and in misery Not a treasured part of the team. Built frustration. Lost connection. Everyone keeps you in isolation. Who to reach out? Who to care? Who to stop you from losing air? There’s complaint. There’sContinue reading “Oh, To Be…”
