(030)▪︎[ Facing Your Fear … 2026 ]

[ Once There Lived A Brave Soul Who Walked With Quiet Dread ]
[ Every Step You Took ]
[ Was With A Downward Facing Head ]
[ It Was Like You Were Reading A Book ]
[ In Bed ]

[ Each Step You Took Was Heavy ]
[ Each Breath You Took Was A Careful Plea ]
[ You Felt Like The Raging Water Was Pushing Against The Levy ]
[ So You Were Never Feeling Quite Free ]

[ Fear Whispered In The Morning, But It Screamed @ You In The Night ]
[ It Was Easy To Get Through Midday ]
[ But As The Day Wore On, It Triggered Your Fight Or Flight ]
[ In Almost Every Way ]

[ How Do You Conquer A Simple Fear ]
[ When You Begin To Shed A Tear ]
[ If You Look @ Yourself Too Long In The Bathroom Mirror? ]

[ You Cannot Live Your Whole Life ]
[ In The Sunny Daylight ]
[ You Could Still See The Shadow Of A Bad Man Holding A Knife ]
[ Or Was That A Child Flying A Kite? ]

[ Bad Things Also Happen Under The Cover Of Dark Clouds ]
[ Disguising The Intentions ]
[ Of The Violent Men In Crowds ]

[ But Then ]
[ It Doesn’t Always Have To Be Outside ]
[ For Violence To Happen ]
[ Especially When There Are Numerous Places To Hide ]
[ Or When ]
[ You Are Waiting For Your Ride ]

[ Fear Can Be All Encompassing ]
[ When You Have No Idea What Is Happening ]
[ All The While Dampening ]

[ Your Faith In Yourself ]
[ Maybe You Left Your Courage In The Garage ]
[ Up High On A Shelf ]
[ Sitting There Away From The Barrage ]
[ Of Negative Words ]
[ That You Heard ]
[ From Someone Else ]

[ You Dislike & Almost Hate ]
[ How Bully‘s Like To Operate ]
[ Sometimes They Play It Cool ]
[ & Don’t Show You How They Shut The Gate ]
[ On People, So They Could Make Them Look Like A Fool ]
[ Or How They Sit & Wait ]
[ Until They Grab The Only Remaining Stool ]

[ It Is A You -vs- Them ]
[ Until They Become Society’s Bigger Problem ]
[ Of Sneezing & Coughing Up Phlegm ]

[ It Is Like The Nagging Flu ]
[ When You Have Zero Clue ]
[ About What To Do ]

[ A Fear Can Nag ]
[ Fears Can Zig-Zag ]
[ They Can Even Play Tag ]

[ Fear Was Never About Power ]
[ It Lived On Borrowed Breath ]
[ Once It Goes For An Hour ]
[ It Is Fed With Hesitation & Starved On Facing Death ]

(029)▪︎[ Getting Lost In Your Mind … 2026 ]

[ When Daylight Loosens Its Golden Hold ]
[ & The Evening Whispers Stories That Are Old ]
[ Mother Nature Wastes No Time In Turning The Temperature Cold ]

[ As The Moon Ascends To Her Silver Throne ]
[ You Try To Call A Friend, On Your Phone ]
[ That’s When The Shadows Tell You That You Are Not Alone ]
[ Because You Don’t Even Hear A Dial Tone ]

[ The Stars Wake & Start To Glimmer ]
[ All You Can Hear ]
[ Is Your Inner Voice Whimper ]

[ The Clocks Start To Unwind ]
[ Right In Front Of Your Weary Eyes ]
[ Is This Meant To Play With Your Mind? ]
[ Or A Simple Ploy To Knock You Down A Size? ]

[ Your Bed Looks Like A Wayward Ship ]
[ In The Bigger Scheme Of Things ]
[ You Feel Like Just A Tiny Blip ]
[ Life Really Stings ]
[ Whenever You Feel Your Mind Slip ]

[ In Your Mind Your Ship Is Supposed To Glide ]
[ On The Ocean ]
[ That Is So Deep & Wide ]
[ You Close Your Eyes Just To Feel The Motion ]
[ But If You Wait Too Long You Might Feel That You Died ]

[ Your Eyes Close Doors To The World You Once Knew ]
[ You Wish That Someone Would Have Given You A Clue ]
[ That The Doors That Closed Would Be Quite A Few ]

[ When Quiet Miracles Are Beginning ]
[ Logic Starts Bending ]
[ & While Time Starts Thinning ]
[ Do You Think That Your World Has Begun To Head To A Anti-Climactic Ending? ]

[ You Feel That Is Something That Is Tempting ]
[ But That Is Not What You Are Attempting ]
[ Even Though You Feel Like Your Gas Tank Is Emptying ]

[ You Once Dreamed That You Were On A Winding Staircase ]
[ When You Tried To Leave En Haste ]
[ You Tripped & Fell Right On Your Face ]
[ But You Did Receive ]
[ A Rounding Applause From Every Person In The Place ]

[ You Took Your Beautiful Wife Aside ]
[ To Confide ]
[ The Only Thing That You Hurt Was Your Pride ]

[ The Fall Did Knock The Air Out Of Your Lungs ]
[ This Happened Once Before When You Were Young ]
[ @ Least This Time You Did Not Bite Your Tongue ]

[ Your Breath & Pride Will Eventually Return ]
[ Sometimes You Block Out What You Have Learned ]
[ & Sliding Face First On Carpet ]
[ Will Always Burn ]

[ You Try Not To Fear ]
[ That All Of Your Lost Tomorrows Will Always Be Near ]
[ They Would Not Had Been Lost ]
[ If The Purpose Of Being There Was Clear ]
[ No Matter The Cost ]
[ No Matter The Amount Of Tears ]

[ You Don’t Believe In Coincidences ]
[ Or Shared Time Instances ]
[ All They Might Be Is Simple Unconnected Incidents ]

[ There Were Simpler Times ]
[ When Buying A Pack Of Baseball Cards Only Cost A Kid (2) Shiny Dimes ]
[ It Seemed Like A Safer Time ]
[ When Bad Guys Were Committing Alot Less Violent Crimes ]

[ Your Self-Esteem Felt Right ]
[ Your Future ]
[ Was Like A Flame ]
[ That Was Burning Bright ]
[ Then You Lost Your Name ]
[ & Everything Felt Like An Uphill Fight ]

[ You Are Trying To Stay Upright On Your Feet ]
[ Even Though You Felt That Your Pride Ran Out To The Street ]
[ When All That You Asked Was That This Bad Dream Would Not Repeat ]

[ Why Couldn’t You Have Had A Dream Of Being A Child Running Through The Cool Night Air? ]
[ Without Having A Single Care ]
[ But Having A Big Heart To Share? ]

[ Dreams Of Childhood Usually Brings A Smile ]
[ & It Stays For Awhile ]
[ Because Afterall … You Were Just A Child ]

(021)▪︎[ The Tears … 2026 ]

[ Now You Cannot Help But See That There Are Some Really Tough Roads That Lay Ahead ]
[ This Is Not A Good Time ]
[ To Run Out Of That Anti-Psychotic Med ]
[ Maybe You Should Go Out & Enjoy Committing A Crime ]
[ Instead ]

[ A Good Medication Won’t Make Your World Spin ]
[ It Will Help You Win ]
[ Even Before The Placebo Affects Start To Begin ]

[ Why Does A Bad Med Keep The Earth From Being Still? ]
[ Will ]
[ The Next Pill ]
[ Help You To Remain Chill? ]

[ What Will Calm You Down? ]
[ When You Look Around ]
[ Don’t Show The Tears Of A Sad Clown ]

[ A Clown Is Supposed To Show A Smile ]
[ For The Whole Day ]
[ Not For Just For A Little While ]
[ You Wish There Was A Way ]
[ That You Could Change Your Mood By Just Turning A Dial ]

[ When A Clown Is Sad ]
[ Where Can They Go To Hide? ]
[ It Makes You Feel So Bad ]
[ It Feels Like Your Soul Has Died ]

[ You Feel Like Everything Is Going By You So Fast ]
[ But You Feel Like You Are Going So Slow ]
[ You Are Only Seeing The Mistakes That You Made In Your Past ]
[ Now You Don’t Know In Which Direction You Should Go ]
[ To Make Good Memories That Can Last? ]

[ Do You Start With Your Right Foot, Or Your Left? ]
[ Will It Always Be A Fight ]
[ To Continue To Watch Your Step? ]

[ That Will Always Have You Looking Down, Instead Of Forward ]
[ There Is No Reward ]

[ If You Start Going Backwards ]
[ Because Someone That You Thought Was Close ]
[ Chose ]
[ To Say Some Choice Words ]

[ That Made Themselves Feel Better ]
[ But Not You ]
[ Would A Letter ]
[ Had Been The Best Way To Give A Clue? ]
[ Maybe Waving A Feather ]
[ Would Had Been A Good Social Cue ]

(491)▪︎[ Unresolved Grief … 12-31-2025 ]

[ Have You Ever Felt Like You Have Some Unresolved Grief ]
[ That Needs Some Closure? ]
[ But, When You Go Looking For Some Relief ]
[ Are You Afraid Of More Exposure? ]

[ Of What Has Been Bugging You About Your Past? ]
[ You Begin To Worry That Your Troubled Mind Might Last ]
[ & The Dye Might Have Been Cast ]

[ Your Troubled Event Happened Over (23yrs) Prior ]
[ Through (4) Completely Hostile Interrogations ]
[ They Always Called You A Liar ]
[ Which Led To So Many Frustrations ]
[ Lighting Your Whole Life On Fire ]

[ You Fell Into A Rabbit Hole Where You Did Not See A Way Out ]
[ All Of The Powers That Be ]
[ Wanted You To Go Home & Sit In The Dark & Pout ]
[ Wallowing About The Injustices Of Humanity ]
[ You Got To To Be Too Tired To Scream & Shout ]

[ Everytime You Looked Around ]
[ You Found ]
[ That The Whole Gravity Of The State Kept Pounding ]
[ You Into The Ground ]

[ The World Started Spinning ]
[ You Saw No End ]
[ You Never Noticed When This Mess Was Even Beginning ]
[ They Left You With Nothing Left To Defend ]
[ Nor Was There Any Chance Of Winning ]

[ What Was Left? ]
[ Going Back To A Job Where You fHad To Constantly Watch Your Step? ]

[ What Would Happen To Your Free Will? ]
[ When The Only Way Of Feeling Okay ]
[ Would Be Taking An Anxiety Pill ]
[ (3×) A Day ]

[ You Fail To See The Joy In Being A Pharmaceutical Experiment ]
[ Always Feeling Different ]
[ & Not Confident ]

[ The Event Broke You @ The Time ]
[ All Because Those (2) Male Juveniles ]
[ Wanted To Commit One More Major Crime ]
[ & Go Out In Style ]

[ You Were Never Given The Choice Of Having A Representative From The Union Stand By Your Side ]
[ They Never Gave You The Chance To Decide ]
[ Or Confide ]
[ So Afterwards There Was Nothing Left Of Your Pride! ]

[ Because Of Your Lack Of Training, Your Hope Of Figuring Things Out Were Dampened ]
[ & Hampered ]
[ Because Through The Whole History Of Being Opened ]
[ This Event Had Never Before Happened ]

[ Getting On The Right Path ]
[ Became As Complicated ]
[ As Solving Story Problems In Calculus Math ]
[ Without A Single Number Being Duplicated ]

[ Because Feeling This Lost Was Unknown Territory For You ]
[ There Was Nothing To Do ]
[ Because No One Had A Clue ]
[ About How To Keep You From Feeling So Blue ]

[ & Down On Your Luck ]
[ You Wish That It Would Have Been As Easy As Needing To Duck ]
[ So That Made Every Day Suck! ]

[ But You Persevered & Came Out On The Other End, A Much Better & Stronger Man ]
[ You No Longer Feel Like You Are Sinking In Quicksand ]

(489)▪︎[ Will AI Replace Free Thinking? … 2025 ]

[ Robots Are Designed To Save Time ]
[ But The Technology Can Also Be Misused ]
[ To Commit Crimes ]
[ & The Technology Will Be Abused ]

[ Being Human It Is Not About Saving ]
[ Time, It Is About How It’s Spent ]
[ It Is Not About Doing Something Good Or Misbehaving ]
[ All That Matters Is Realizing Where The Time Went ]

[ Spending Time With Others ]
[ Or Spending Time Alone ]
[ Even If You Have Sister’s Or Brother’s ]
[ Sometimes You Don’t Ever Reach Out To Them On The Phone ]

[ Being Around The Family That You Grew Up With ]
[ Doesn’t Seem To Matter Much ]
[ If They Are Not Even On Your Short Phone List ]

[ The One Good Thing About About Modern Tech ]
[ Machines Are Logical ]
[ So They Do Not Have The Ability To Talk Out Of Both Sides Of Their Neck ]
[ & It Sometimes Sounds Comical ]
[ When They Try To Hold You In Check ]

[ With The Fast Oncoming Train That AI Seems To Be ]
[ Did The Maker Of The Technology ]
[ Ever Foresee ]
[ How It Will Stop People From Thinking That They Will Ever Feel Free ]

[ Again? ]
[ Once Technology Starts Solving Problems On Its Own ]
[ Where Will This End? ]

(485)▪︎[ Angel’s In The Room … 2025 ]

[ There Are Times When Angel’s Actually Do Roam The Earth ]
[ You Know That When A Bell Rings ]
[ Everytime There Is A Child’s Birth ]

[ It Is Not Always The Norm ]
[ For An Angel To Show Themselves ]
[ In Human Form ]

[ They Just Might ]
[ Take Flight ]
[ During The Morning ]
[ Instead Of Always Being @ Night ]

[ They Are Not Like Santa ]
[ Who Is Always Looking For All Of The Good Girls & Boys ]
[ They Don’t Have A GPS Antenna ]
[ So They Can Deliver Goodies & Toys ]

[ Angel’s & Santa Claus’s Purpose In Life Are Worlds Apart ]
[ Santa Might Live In The Mind ]
[ While Angel’s Live In The Heart ]
[ Because They Are So Kind ]

[ Unfortunately There Times When An Angel Will Appear Before A Man’s Eyes Right Before Death ]
[ Maybe Drug Abusers Are Trying To To See The Angels]
[ When They Start Smoking Meth ]

[ They Keep Wanting To Get To An Even Higher High ]
[ Hopefully They Pass Out ]
[ Before They Die ]

[ Angel’s Will Sometimes Lead A Man Down A Better Path ]
[ Sad To Say That If You Have Test Anxiety In Class ]
[ Angel’s Will Not Help You During Your Finals Test In Math ]

[ Children Tend To See Angel’s More Often Than Adult’s, Because They Really Believe ]
[ If An Adult Told His Friends That They Saw One ]
[ His Friends Would Probably Think That He Was Hiding Something Up His Sleeve ]

[ Maybe That’s Why Adults Won’t Admit ]
[ That They Ever Noticed It ]

[ It Wouldn’t Sound Believable To See An Angel Fly ]
[ By ]
[ Unless You Were Probably High ]

[ Sometimes Angel’s Do Good Deed’s ]
[ Other Times They Help Those That Are In Need ]

[ They Don’t Ever Give Out Money ]
[ They Probabaly Wouldn’t Lead Someone To The Land Of Milk & Honey ]

[ Rest Assure That Angel’s Are Here To Stay ]

(001)▪︎[ Favorite Things To Wear … 2025 ]

What are your two favorite things to wear?

[ Favorites To Wear? ]

[ No Matter The Season … ]

[ No Matter The Weather … ]

[ No Matter The Time Of Day/Night … You Wear Shorts & Van’s ]

[ Sometimes You Put On A Pair Of Vasque Boots Or Merrill Boots If It Is Raining Or Snowing Outside ]

[ You Only Own One Pair Of Pants & It Was Probably (6 or 7yrs) Ago That You Wore Them ]

[ It Was Either To A Wedding Or Funeral. It Was Hard To Remember Since They Are Fairly Similar In Mood & Purpose ]

~ Lopaka DeVoe ~

(442)▪︎[ Some Well Thought Out, Thoughts … 11/2/2025 ]

[ Hi Ho, Hi Ho ]
[ You Want To Tell Her That You Miss Your Needle Terribly ]
[ Or Did She Already Know? ]

[ In The Early Morning, It Is Way Too Lonely & Quiet ]
[ It Is Hard Waking Up ]
[ When The House Is Totally Silent ]

[ Unfortunately Until She Returns To Her Rightful Place ]
[ Written Words Are Just That ]
[ Until You Express Them To Her, Face-to-Face ]

[ Your Surgery Is Coming Up Really Fast ]
[ You Hate Thinking Of The Aborted Surgery That Was Attempted Last ]
[ But It Just Hangs There, In Your Past ]

[ It Is Hard To Think On The Positive Side ]
[ When There Are Days Like Today, That Kicks @ Your Pride ]
[ It Takes You On A Downward Slide ]
[ Towards The Thought That This Is Your Last Ride ]

[ You Used To Be Afraid Of Death ]
[ But Not Anymore ]
[ Sometimes When You Close Your Eyes @ Night, You Hope That You Would Soon Take Your Last Breath ]
[ Because Death Will Be Knocking On Your Front Door ]

[ Maybe If You Don’t Breathe Heavy Or Cough ]
[ He Will Cross Your Name Off ]

[ That Would Just Be A Taunt ]
[ Because That Is Not Exactly What You Want ]

[ You Are Not Homicidal ]
[ So Please Do Not Worry ]
[ You Are Not Suicidal ]
[ Even Though You Kind Of Seem To Want Death To Come In A Hurry ]

[ What Are You Going To Miss? ]
[ You Cannot Remember Even The Last Year ]
[ That Your Wife, Of Almost (30yrs), Even Wanted A Passionate Kiss ]

[ Will You Miss Another, “Shut The F#*# Up” Spelled Out In A Text? ]
[ Sent To You By Your Loving Son? ]
[ Wondering What He Will Say Next ]
[ Sure Can Create Plenty Of Guesses That Can Sound Fun! ]
[ You Sure Am Glad That He Never Found The Bullet Proof Vest ]
[ That Was Lying Under Your Gun ]

[ You Had Them Sold ]
[ & Taken Far Away From Your Home ]
[ Because You Never Wanted To Find Out How Ice Cold ]
[ He Could Have Become If He Had Known ]

[ (62yrs) On This Earth ]
[ Was Not A Smooth Ride Since Your Birth ]

[ But Then, Nobody Has Ever Said That They Had The Perfect Childhood ]
[ You Survived ]
[ So It Must Have Been Pretty Good ]
[ It Doesn’t Take Downing A Whole Bottle Of Cheap Wine ]
[ To Wonder If Everything That You Were Told As A Child Might Have Been Vastly Misunderstood ]

[ You Feel That You Have Been Very Selective ]
[ With The Answers That Were Written Down ]
[ In Your Advance Directive ]

[ Some Might Say That You Are Being Hasty With This ]
[ If Anyone Wants To Know Your Reasons ]
[ Give You A Minute & You Will Give Them A Full List ]

[ Your Mind Is Completely Clear & Sane ]
[ You Are Not Bordering On The Insane ]
[ But You Are Oh So So Tired Of The Pain ]

[ When They Say, “Everyone Has Pain” That Much Is True ]
[ Unless Someone Wants To Pick Up Your Shoes ]
[ They Don’t Have A Clue ]
[ About All Of The Missed Social Cues ]
[ It’s Not Like You Are Feeling Down & Blue ]
[ It Is Not Like You Haven’t Been Paying Your Dues ]

[ You Did Stop & Pay What Was Due @ Every Tollbooth Along The Way ]
[ But You Never Paid Extra ]
[ Because You Never Wanted To Prolong Your Stay ]
[ For Even A Day ]

[ The Emotional Pain Is The Worst ]
[ That’s The One That Lingers ]
[ & Always Hurts ]
[ From Your Toes, Clear To The Ends Of Your Fingers ]

[ The Pain Is Slow ]
[ It Begins Down Below ]
[ Really Low ]
[ That Kind Of Pain Never Heals Because There Is Not The Much Needed Blood Flow ]

[ The Invisible Wounds Never Heal ]
[ Don’t Let Anyone Try To Convince You That The Pain Is Not Real! ]
[ The Energy That They Steal ]
[ Gives You That Rundown Feel ]

[ You Do Not Wish To Have A Service Of Any Kind ]
[ The Less Your Name Is Said ]
[ The Sooner It Disappears From Everybody’s Mind ]

[ You Have Been Losing Your Will To Live ]
[ Over The Last Couple Of Years ]
[ Sometimes You Feel Like You Don’t Have Anything Left To Give ]

[ You Have Been Trying To Slow Down Your Breathing ]
[ Most Of The Time You Don’t Really Feel Like Eating ]
[ Yes, Needle, Bump, CB2.0EV & Ms. O. You Know That This Sounds Self-Defeating ]
[ But How Do You Put A Positive Spin On Leaving? ]

[ The Only Family You Have Left Is Nicole, Your Wife ]
[ You Feel Like An Albatross Around Her Neck ]
[ But With Your Death, You Hope That She Could Start A Whole New & Exciting Life ]
[ As You Drop The Mic, Can You Ask, “Who’s Picking Up This Check?” ]

(403)▪︎[ Family Is A Negative (6) Letter Word … 9/21/2025 ]

[ One Time When You Were Fooled, It Was Because You Let Your Guard Down ]
[ & Said That Your In-Laws Were Special, Like Family ]
[ Now You Have Ended Up Looking Like The Clown ]
[ Because That Is Not How They Wanted Things To Be ]

[ You Should Have Had The Strength ]
[ To Keep Them @ Arms Length ]

[ On The Bench ]
[ Or In A Toolbox ]
[ Like An Unused Wrench ]
[ Secured With (2) Locks ]

[ Because You Showed Weakness ]
[ Things Turned Into One Big Hot Mess ]
[ Now, All It Causes Is Stress ]

[ In The Beinning, You Thought You Were Blessed ]
[ & A Little Bit Impressed ]
[ But Now That The Bad Feelings Have Progressed ]
[ You Feel Kind Of Depressed ]

[ You Feel, A Little Bit Lost ]
[ You Can Only Guess ]
[ That Is The Cost ]

[ Of Putting Your Trust ]
[ In The Wrong People ]
[ Who Easily Pushed You To The Side So You Can Watch Everything Bust ]

[ If They Didn’t Love You As Family, Why Did They Do As Such ]
[ Now (30+) Years ]
[ Do Not Mean That Much ]

[ If They Never Wanted A Son ]
[ Why Did They Call You & Treat You As One ]
[ Well, They Can Still Be Happy ]
[ Because They Still Have None ]

[ The Egg Is Squarely On Your Face ]
[ You Guess When It Came To The Family Table ]
[ You Never Really Had A Place ]

[ Maybe That Was The Time That You Should Have Left en Haste ]
[ (30+) Years Of Effort ]
[ Sure Turned Into Toxic Waste ]

[ Why, Why, Why? ]
[ Do People Come Up To You, & Look You In The Eye’s ]
[ & Do Nothing But Lie, Lie, Lie? ]
[ (30+) Years Worth Of Lie’s ]

[ Disgusting, Hateful & Full Of Spite ]
[ Now, Nothing Feels Right ]
[ How Can You Fight ]
[ Something That Isn’t In Direct Sight? ]

[ You Wish That You NEVER Had Taken Their Name ]
[ Carrying It As Yours ]
[ Now Doesn’t Feel The Same ]
[ & That Is Describing The Feelings Kind Of Tame ]
[ It Is Like Putting Your Raft In The River & Not Be Given A Set Of Oars ]
[ Maybe This Was One Long Drawn Out Game ]

[ How Come Something That Used To Feel So Strong ]
[ Turned Out To Be So So Wrong? ]

[ You Need To Take The High Road ]
[ Because Now You Know ]
[ If You Continue To Be Suckered Into Their Happy Abode ]
[ It Just Sets You Up To Be In The Middle Of Another One Of Their Shit Show’s ]

[ Now YOU Should Pull Up Your Big Boy Pants ]
[ To Take A Stand ]
[ Trying To Avoid The Insects & Ants ]
[ & Draw Your Own Line In The Sand ]
