My heart is a thousand years old. I am not like other people.
-Charles Bukowski
Poetry
This Day and Everyday
Today is not your first day
Today is a new day
Look at today with optimism
Be positive through any challenges
Remember to remain humble
Conclude your day with thankfulness and appreciation for the life you have.
The day fades to night with the incandescent glow of our sun giving way to pale glow of our moon
What will have become of the day
What will come of the another cool night
Reflection
Contemplation
Reaction
The dawn breaks the silence of the cold night with the once again warming of the light
A new day
The same day
Another day
Questions

Being…
Being is never enough.
Leave well enough alone…
Why not try to improve?
So many reasons just to exist but so many more reasons to live.
Don’t just connect with people
Impact peoples lives
Allowing there to be versions of you is a misrepresentation of who you really are
Be You
Raw
You were able to take the money when it benefitted you most
The time was easy to pass cause one day I’d be a ghost
You took the years that could have meant more to someone who really cared
All the while your excuse was you were scared
You broke me down in ways unknown to most
Placing blame on me to help justify your lack of remorse
Pulling strings like a puppet master knowing I’ll always be close
Reaching out like a convenience when it suits you the most
Well wishes at best but nothing from the heart
Who is the real monster when you knew everything from the start
The price we pay for loving is always a broken heart
