NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 3

-Tides-

I’m feeling
Slightly
Better
But also
Like I’m being
Lured
Into a false
Peace
So I’ll
Hold on
And
Wait
For the tide to rush in
And
Wash over me
Again

NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 2

-Illness-

How can entering a room
Cause physical pain?
Sitting at a desk
Cause such dispaire
My head and heart and self
Ache with illness
Mental in nature
With no end in sight

NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 1

-Failure-

Last year I failed
For the first time
To complete this goal
And since then I feel
Like I’ve done nothing but continue to fail
But I’ll still pick myself up
And try try again
And hope that failure
Isn’t permanent

NaPoWriMo 2017 Day 14

-Better-

Today
Was
Better.
I didn't mess up
As much
I didn't slow things down
As much
And I solved a problem on my own
Mostly
Today
Was
Better

NaPoWriMo 2017 Day 13

-Temper-

I know that my temper sometimes
Sneaks up
And rears the ugly head
But I know that I feel it when it does.
Today someone told me
That my temper was showing,
But it wasn't there.
It's spot empty
It's place vacant
So who is right?
Me?
Or the temper?

NaPoWriMo 2017 Day 12

-Your Mind-

They say when you are young
Your mind is like a sponge
And that when you're old
Your mind is a sieve
So what is your mind
When you aren't old
And you aren't young
But quarter aged?
A sponge cake?
An hour glass?
A strainer?
Because I can feel things
Drip
Drip
Dripping
Through the cracks

NaPoWriMo 2017 Day11

-Tuesday Tired-

I feel fine
Not feeling any aches and pains
Until I lie down
And relax
That's when the exhaustion sets in
My body sags
And I can no longer
Keep my eyes open
