Bit of Advice

No heroes this time,
no winners in this war.

No one's listening.

Step away,
you know you should,
but shoot your mouth instead.

No one hears you.

It's as if you're saying
all the wrong words
to all the wrong people,
at the worst possible time.

Saw my sights behind me,
but speaking your mind
with the filter off isn't the best idea.

Happiness in the Corner

I've come to the conclusion that
I don't have a captivating soul.

I can't seem to be capable
of grabbing your attention.

I'm authentic,
and it's a problem. . .

The fact that I fall off the bandwagon,
and its consistent pressure,
to be the type of person
-I'm not.

I'd rather have my eyes clawed blind,
than show the world a blind version of myself.

Spent endless time spent,
saying to myself,
"I'm too offbeat for this."

So I sit in what you think
is my sad corner of life,

but what can't you see?

Succeeding and Self Reliant

A year from today,
I’d like to be a better person.

Something I can't stop trying to be.

Clear the path,
pave the road for me to have;

patience,
appreciation,
compassion,
conviction.

The ability to shut myself out-
to be profoundly alone
in this mind of mine.


To shut out the voice of
what others are thinking.

Confidence, correct?

The ability to rely on myself.

Your Peace of Mind

Miss connection? Disconnect-
it's a matter of the mind.

Distract yourself from reality.
Run for your life.
Fight the frustration.

Sigh and
pick your battles.

You can't win this one.

Sigh again,
pick your battles.

Keep your distance.

Don't acknowledge the real issue,
fly with frustration
like the rest of the flock.

Ever seen a flock drop dead
for what seems like no reason?

Don't follow,
find.

The End

Sick of seeing
the political high horse,
as if it even exists.

Please realize, the
alt left and alt right
concept is abstract.

Conjure another way to
cause division among us.
Another excuse to argue.

Grant the ideas on both
that are worth exploring.
Even if you're ripe to say
one side is giving handouts.
Or the other is promoting prejudice.

Get a load of this new concept-
bad things AREN'T LABELED
left or right.

Nixon was a crook,
Clinton was an adulterer.
Johnson was an alleged racist,
Bush 2.0 put food on his family.

I could go on for hours
finding the fault in our current,
and former president/s.

The perfect president doesn't exist.
He's a man with the important,
but lousy job of seven roles
trying to please everyone.
