2021, creative writing, earth sign, frustration, lurker, poems, poetry, you

If you knew
that there was someone out there watching you,
Would you wait for them to come forward?
Would you be angry
Because they were taking so long?
Would you wait until it became your new normal?
Would you be willing to take on the role
Of someone they have imagined?
Would you give up yourself for the toasts and white dress
To become his latest gadget?

You, post scriptum

2021, acceptance, ache, choice, heart, me, myself, poems, poetic justice, poetry, you

My head aches 
For the expectations I've had,
My heart breaks
Every time I look at
The pictures of you
And your stupid stories,
The things that you post
Should not be the cause of my worries.
Another let down
But I am okay,
The wind blows a storm,
Just be on your way.
That smile a fake
That I used believe in,
Leave me alone -
I am a new kind of being.
Another Ken doll,
Another sad clown,
Which one are you?
Candles burn down.
My head aches no longer,
My heart is set free.
This time I have chosen,
And I've chosen me.


Thanks for the wine

2021, ants and ankles and mimes, creative writing, disappointment, emotions, justice, karma, poem, poetic justice, poetry, wine

How easy would it be
To drown the feelings in red wine?
How many glasses would it take
To leave it all behind?
I don't agree with slanted limits
They set for us, those snakes,
Those fools,
What would it take
To break their spirits,
Destroy their grip,
Rewrite the rules?
Laugh all you want,
Your days are numbered,
There is a chart that karma keeps,
It's been two decades
I've grown stronger,
But you will wither in your sleep.
Ant has been biting,
Ankles cracking,
Mimes playing roles they can't sustain,
I've always thought
You were the good ones -
All you can do is hiss and feign.

I choose me.

Whatever the weather,
I am the one by my side.

I choose me.

Every journey ahead,
I am my own faithful guide.

I choose love.

For myself,
For everytime I fell down.

I choose me.

I am strong,
And I'm proud to be wearing my crown.
