(955)▪︎[ Dark Secrets … 11•14•2020 ]

[ Does Everyone Hide ]
[ Dark Secrets ]
[ Deep Deep Inside ]
[ Yet, Have You Ever Met ]
[ Someone That Lied? ]

[ Everyone Has Secrets From Childhood ]
[ That They Now Carry ]
[ Into Adulthood ]

[ Are They Ashamed Or Scared? ]
[ Are Their Partners Ever Aware? ]

[ When Confronted With Anything Of Concern ]
[ People Have Learned ]
[ That Some People That They Eventually Let In ]
[ Are Only There To Burn ]

[ Anybody That Opens Up To Others & Shares ]
[ Thinks That The Other Person Actually Cares ]
[ But When They Are Needed ]
[ They Are Left Talking To Air ]
[ Because Nobody’s There! ]

[ When They Look, They Will See That Their ( FAIR
     WEATHER FRIENDS ) Are Gone ]
[ Their Perceived Support ]
[ Has Shamefully & Quickly Moved On ]

[ So Should They ]
[ During The Next Day ]
[ Get The Nerve To Say, What They Need To Say ]
[ Then Be Happy That Those Fake People Have
     Moved Away ]

[ Let The Memories Of Them Fly Away With The Wind ]
[ But Don’t Shut Down ]
[ & Never Trust Again ]

[ But Maybe Deep Dark Secrets Should Stay
     Suppressed ]
[ They Should Not Let Their Secrets Send Them On The
     Downward  Spiral ]
[ That Causes Them To Be Depressed ]

[ Sometimes People Will Not Let Them Out ]
[ Or Bring Them Up ]
[ Because People Tend To Shout ]
[ When They Get Cut ]
[ Then Pout ]
[ Followed By Eventually Keeping Their Mouths Shut! ]

[ They Would Never Again Come To Their Place ]
[ & Talk To Them Face To Face ]

(995)▪︎[ Do You Know? … 11•30•2020 ]

[ What Does A Comfortable Life Consist Of? ]
[ Money, Expensive Toys, Fast Cars? ]
[ Or Familial Love? ]

[ Some Say That Money Can Buy Happiness ]
[ & Some Say Money Can Be A Mess ]

[ If I Was Able To Afford The Best ]
[ Am I Able To Get Any Rest? ]
[ Money Can Never Take Away That Nagging Pain In My Chest ]

[ I’ve Never Had Money, So I Wouldn’t Know That Side ]
[ If I Ever Said That I Would Not Like Money ]
[ I Lied ]

[ Enough Money To Pay My Bills ]
[ Would Be Nice ]
[ Would I Go On Vacations For Exciting Thrills? ]
[ Uh … That I Would Have To Think About Twice ]

[ To Some, I Don’t Have Alot ]
[ But If You Put Me On The Spot ]
[ I’d Say That I Am Really Happy With What I’ve Got ]

[ I Have A Loving Wife That Has Stood By Me For Almost
25 Years ]
[ I Have A Great Son Who Keeps Up With His Peers ]
[ I’m Not Drunk From Drinking Whiskey & Beers ]
[ But I Do Have My Fears ]

[ The Fear Of Where Is Society Going? ]
[ Why Isn’t This Virus Slowing? ]

[ Society Is Filled With So Much Hate Nowadays ]
[ We’ve Lost The Human Touch ]
[ in So Many Ways ]
[ For So Many Days ]

[ A Comfortable Life Never Saw This Coming ]
[ The Way That Our Leaders Are Constantly Mumbling &
Grumbling ]
[ Makes This All Mind Numbing ]

[ This Is Almost The Quality ]

[ Laurel & Hardy Bumbling ]

[ Everything Is Upside Down ]
[ The Politicians Are Not Leading ]
[ Because Washington Is A Circus Full Of Clowns ]

[ In America’s Biggest Crisis They Don’t Feel The Need ]
[ To Lead ]
[ Or Give More Money For Families To Feed ]

[ Their Own ]
[ Or Pay On Their Loans ]
[ For Their Homes ]

[ That Totally Changes What A Comfortable Life Looks
Like ]
[ Now It Is An Inflation Hike ]
[ & A Virus Spike ]

[ Life Has Changed ]
[ Priorities Need To Be Rearranged ]

[ But Don’t Come Closer Than Six Feet ]
[ Until This Virus Can Be Beat ]

[ I’ll Grab My Family & Stay Home ]
[ Because On The Other Side Of That Door ]
[ Is The Scary Unknown ]

[ Is Life The Art Of The Possible? ]
[ Always Finding What’s Plausible? ]

[ Is It Figuring Out What Is Real? ]
[ Or Going With What You Feel ]

[ & Finding The Right Path ]
[ After Doing All Of The Math ]

[ Then Finding Out That 1 + 1 Does Not Always Add
Up To 2 ]
[ Going With What Your Gut Is Telling You ]

[ But Maybe Your Gut Has Not Always Been
Right ]
[ Making Your Mind Put Up A Fight ]

[ How Can You Decide? ]
[ When The Method Is Not Very Precise? ]

[ Maybe You Could Use A Totally Different Method ]
[ By Getting Out Of Your Head ]

[ Thoughts Can Get Cloudy Or You Could Get
Cloudy Thoughts ]
[ One Minute Your Eyesight Is Clear ]
[ The Next Minute You’re Brain Is Seeing Spots ]

[ During Those Times When You Feel You Don’t Have
Complete Control ]
[ You Should Take A Deep Breath ]
[ Then Go With The Flow ]
[ Until You Feel Whole ]

[ Am Thankful For The Best Best Friend That
I Could Ever Dream Of ]
[ As My Friend, She Gives Me Care & Lots Of Love ]

[ She Has Stood By Me Through The Good & The
Many Bad Times ]
[ She Is So Patient & Understanding When I Read
Her, All Of My Stories That Rhyme ]

[ She Could Have Come Into My House & Told Me
( I’ll BE YOUR CAREGIVER, BUT THAT’S ALL! ) ]
[ She Could Have Gone Down To Texas To See
Her Family & Never Taken The Time To Call ]

[ Then Fate Made Her See ]
[ That Was Not All That She Wanted To Be ]
[ To Me ]

[ I’ve Also Given Her A Shoulder To Cry On ]
[ Because Of Someone She Missed ]
[ That Is Now Gone ]
[ But I Would Not Let Her Get Kissed ]
[ By A Man That Turned Out To Be A Con ]

[ Because For As Long As I Have A Heartbeat,
In My Chest ]
[ I Always Want My Cavarona, To Have The Best ]

[ I Can Never Give My Friend, Wealth & Riches ]
[ But That Doesn’t Mean That Is Not, On My
List Of Wishes ]

[ My Friend Can Come Across, To Some, As A Hard
Woman, With A Cold Stare ]
[ You Never Want To Be On The Receiving Part
Of One Of Her Death Glares ]
[ But To Me, She Is As Nice & Sweet As A Big Teddy Bear ]
[ I Only Get Those Warm Looks, That Tells Me
She Cares ]

[ @ The End Of Her Night I Stand @ The Door To
Receive ]
[ One Of Her Warm, Tight, Loving Hugs Before She Leaves ]

[ Fate Is What Brought Her To My House That One
Day ]
[ & She Chose To Stay ]
[ Not Run Away ]
[ Working Through My Bat Shit Crazy Ways ]

[ Of Doing Things Like How I Fold My Clothes ]
[ Where Did I Get My Ideas? ]
[ Nobody Knows ]

[ I Call My Friend Cavarona ]

[ Right Now My Son Is PMSing ]
[ He Seems To Be Really Grouchy ]
[ & He Is Constantly Hissing ]

[ @ Anyone That Goes Near ]
[ Him ]
[ So Everyone Can Hear ]
[ Him ]

[ He Is Not Even Very Nice ]
[ To The People That Attempt To Give Him Advice ]

[ So Wow, It Is Going To Be A Rocky 7 Days ]
[ He Can Be So Unfriendly ]
[ In So Many Different Ways ]

[ His Bark Is Much Worse Than His Bite ]
[ Especially @ Night ]

[ When He Gets In These Moods ]
[ He Can Get Really Rude ]

[ & Then He Has Nothing But A Bad Attitude ]

[ But You See ]
[ He ]
[ Usually Throws His Disrespect @ Me ]

[ He May Be Nice To You, You Or You ]
[ But When You Hear Or See It Too ]
[ You Will Finally See The Clues ]

[ Of What Makes Him Tick ]
[ & See That The Disrespect That He Shows ]

[ Runs Thick ]
[ Because I Am The One That He Picks ]
[ When He Wants To Be A Total Dick ]

(977)▪︎[ There Is Always A Rush To Find The Right Blush … 11•23•2020 ]

[ I Have Never Had Many Reasons For Wearing Make-Up
In My Life ]
[ Maybe I Have Just Never Used It In The Best Light ]

[ Am I A Winter, Spring Or Summer ]
[ It Sure Would Be A Bummer ]
[ If I Wore The Wrong Color? ]

[ What Would Be The Reason ]
[ To Pick The Wrong Season? ]

[ Would I Make People Hush? ]
[ If I Wore The Wrong Blush? ]

[ I Would Not Want Be Seen In The Park ]
[ If My Lipstick Was Too Dark ]

[ But If I Was To Go Out With You ]
[ I Would Wear Eye Shadow The Color Of Blue ]
[ Then I Would Wear A Dress That Would Match Too ]

[ High Heels Is What I Would Wear ]
[ Only On A Dare ]

[ But If I Wore A Very Long Shirt ]
[ I Would Have To Go Out & Get A Matching Mini-Skirt ]

[ Would It Be Wrong? ]
[ If My Eyelashes Were Really Long? ]

[ Oh Heavens No ]
[ If The Mirror Didn’t Say So ]

[ My Hair Would Be Brushed Up & Styled High ]
[ & My Short Skirt Would Barely Cover My Thigh ]

[ My Nails Would Be Long & Polished Pink ]
[ To Really Make The Men Think ]
[ & When I Would Smile & Wink ]
[ I Would Never Have To Pay For Another Drink ]

[ It Always Makes Me Squeal ]
[ Whenever A Rich Man Comes Over & Kneels ]
[ & Admires ]
[ My Six Inch Stilettos Heels ]

[ The One Way That I Can Judge If It Has Been A Good
Night ]
[ It’s When Others See Me All Made Up In The Bright ]
[ Light ]
[ & It Does Not Make Other Men Jealous & Want
To Fight ]

[ So With A Giggle ]
[ & A Wiggle ]

[ I Head For ]
[ The Door ]
[ Leaving Me With The Thought ]
[ That I Like Wearing Make-Up More & More ]

[ So After A Hard Day I Will Go To Bed ]
[ & Have Thoughts Of What Kind Of Make-Up I’ll Wear
Tomorrow ]
[ Running Through My Head ]
[ & The Only Way That I Can Sleep ]
[ It’s To Lay Down & Take My Very Potent Sleeping Med ]

Completely Morally Bankrupt? ]
[ Who Do Nothing But ]
[ Cut? ]

[ They Nag & Nag Everyone In Sight ]
[ Almost To The Point Of Starting A Fight ]
[ Then When Everything Hits The Fan ]
[ They Are The First One Who Takes Flight ]

[ They Never Come Back When They Can ]
[ Or Make A Stand ]
[ Like A Man ]

[ They Are The Ones Who Attack ]
[ Only From Behind ]
[ When Someone Turns Their Back ]

[ It Is A Disgrace ]
[ How They Can Never Go To Anothers Place ]
[ & Talk To That Person, Face-To-Face ]

[ That Is Just Not Something, They Do ]
[ & This Has Happened To Quite A Few ]
[ It Has Happened To Me ]
[ & I Could Probably Bet That This Has Also
Happened To You ]
[ Can You See ]
[ That This Is True? ]

[ So What Can Someone Do, Others May Ask? ]
[ Who Would Want To Take On This Task? ][ While The Antagonist Hides Behind Their Mask ]

Disrespect ]
[ Because Every Single Day ]
[ This Is What I Get ]

[ If I Only Had A Dime ]
[ For Every Time ]

[ That He Will Not Include ]
[ & Look For Chances To Exclude ]

[ His Apologies & Words Are As Full & Correct ]
[ As The Meals ]
[ Of An Anorexic ]

[ It Is Unreal ]
[ How Much Effort He Puts Into ]
[ Trying To See How Mad I Could Feel ]

[ But As I’ve Grown Older In Age ]

[ I’ve Learned When He TRIES To Get My Emotions
Hot ]
