3 Days

  

 “3 Days”

 

A friend of a friend,

Had a baby that died 3 days later.

How do you recover?

How do you mourn just 3 days later?

  

I mean how do you mourn,

A loved one you never had a chance to know.

How do you move passed that?

With no memories to show.

  

How do we do that?

It is not right it is not fair.

I lack the words,

And who am I to even dare.

 

To put words,

To such a tragedy.

Who do I think I am.

I just had to get it out of me.

 

It is not even my place,

To offer the words.

It is so sad.

3 days, too bad we cannot,

Cross worlds.

Just One Year

 

   

“Just One Year”

 

It’s been one year,

Today.

I’m not even sure if that’s,

Okay to say.

 

Today was harsh,

It was not okay.

If you sum it all up,

It comes down to.

Today.

 

Look back and just one year,

Doesn’t seem very far.

Tomorrow can be quite different,

From where you are.

 

Just one year,

Yes, I hid my tears.

Month One Day Six

 

   

  

“Month One Day Six”

 

I cannot say for you,

But it makes me sick.

Just thinking of,

Month one day six.

 

I am still struggling,

To find some sort of fix.

We, all of us did not pay the boatman,

On the River Styx.

 

You horrendously wretched,

Left over,

Hounded over soulless,

Pile if sticks.

 

Oh no,

We all did not give you the coins,

To cross The River Styx.

I Killed My Dad

 

  

  

“I Killed My Dad”

  

Do not wish me a happy birthday,

This year.

I am torn apart,

With tears.

  

A simple glass of water,

I said no, the doctors said.

He should get it himself.

That is what they said.

 

So, I did what they said,

To make a point.

To take a stand.

I simply do not,

Understand.

 

What was I fucking there for?

What did it fucking mean?

Do not wish me a happy birthday,

The moment is all that remains.

It makes me cry,

That within the moment.

So selfish,

I killed my dad.

US

“US”

 

Our Capitol was overcome,

By Us.

We in our absence,

Will never free us from trust.

 

If we were passive,

If we were aggressive.

It does not exclude,

Us.

  

Point fingers,

Apply blame,

Avoid any sort of,

Shame.

  

We or should I say,

Us.

Is it ironic?

That Us.

Is the same as U.S.

Change

   

“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”

 

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.
