Day Twenty Four

Disappointment is all consuming
It takes up your energy
your time
your life.
The feeling never really leaves,
It just hides at the back of your mind.

Day Twenty Three

Exhaustion

I can feel the exhaustion spreading,
but it isn’t over yet.
I don’t know when I’ll see the light
or the tunnel of forget.
I hope that I will make it through
it will be tough, though, I bet.
I can feel the exhaustion spreading.
Is it over yet?

Day Twenty Two

 

You had my heart from the start, dear.

Here,

in this moment,

you still have it.

Surprising?

Where else would I keep my heart,

but with you?

Day Twenty One

Trouble

Trouble always finds you
no matter where you are.
There’s no chance of avoidance
if you are on it’s list.
You can try and hide,
and though I’m sure you will,
it’s no use, if you’re on trouble’s list.

Day Twenty

Misery

Do you save someone,
from their own life’s misery?
Or leave it to them?

Day nineteen

My friends

 

My friends live life to the fullest

and though I try, I sincerely fear

that I’m no match for them. 

Day Eighteen

The Night is Young 

We’re not finished yet,

the nights young and so are we, 

live life while we can. 

Day Seventeen

I Hope I Don’t Forget

 

This isn’t what I wanted, 

it isn’t what I meant. 

I hoped I couldn’t remember,

but now I’m terrified to forget. 

 

The way they make me feel,

used to ruin my whole day,

but I’ve become so numb,

that I hardly hear what they say. 

 

Day Sixteen

It’s Still Around

 

I knew

I know

I thought

It was still around. 

Gratefully, I had the pleasure

of hardly seeing it. 

But it’s still here  

And it’s up to us 

to stop it, because

It’s hard to ignore racism 

when it slaps you in the face. 

Day Fifteen

My Pencil

 

Gateway to my soul and 

pathway to my heart. 

You let me tell my story, 

my thoughts, feelings, and worries. 

Thoughtfully less permanent than a pen, 

as these things are subject to change.
