“Change”
God after
all of this,
I must
seem like an ass.
As if you
can look through me,
Like a
pane of glass.
Change I
assume,
Is the
operative word.
Untethered,
With
sails unfurled.
Change
very much,
Has occurred.
Much like
many of us,
Have endured.
Change is
what it falls to,
Change is
what it boils down to.
It all
really boils down to.
What you
are going to do.
Change.

“The
Embers”
The
embers are fading,
I live in
the dark.
As far as
I have tried.
I cannot
find the spark.
Ashes and
ashes,
Are always
the same.
Drawing
circles in ashes,
Is that
all that remains?
Shoved
and pushed,
Forced down
to the ground.
Cry out,
cry out.
No one to
hear the sound.
The
embers have faded,
I live in
the dark.
I have
tried and tried,
But there
is no spark.

“Life”
Should I
crawl out?
Am I worthy?
Was I too
weak?
I find it
hard to see.
Am I
deserving?
To be
reinvited,
Back to
life?
Am I disinvited?
From
life.
I am far
to broken.
The words
just fall out,
Some must
think I am joking.
Should I
even try to,
Crawl out
of this ditch.
Bottom line,
Crawl,
walk or run,
Life is a
bitch.

“The Rooms Are Empty”
The movers came today,
All of my rooms are empty,
I suppose a lot,
Like me.
I feel like a bitchy winer,
Like me the rooms are empty anyway.
A lot like me.
I have no voice left.
To speak with anyway,
The rooms are empty.

“Sleep”
The thunder rolls,
The rain is torrent.
Who am I to struggle,
Against the current.
I just want,
To sleep.
Will I ever do that again?
A sleep so deep.
I am so tired.
I long for a retreat.
But honestly,
I just want to sleep.

“After 2 AM”
So, it is after 2 AM,
Even after my sleeping pills.
I probably take enough,
To make a baby elephant be still.
They are going to come tomorrow,
To pack my things,
Then on Saturday,
They will move me again.
I know that this,
It is for the best.
Yet I feel that I am failing,
This test.
So, it is after 2 AM,
Even after my sleeping pills.
I probably take enough,
To make a baby elephant be still.

“Evicted”
I happened today.
Gutting my
niece and nephews’ part.
All of it,
It breaks my heart.
So tomorrow,
I intend to call
my packers,
My movers.
Pac up this
where I have never bent to live anyway.
So, I will be
very gone.
Many of you may
stop and ponder,
I have been in
a place,
Like this before.
