(814)▪︎[ Today’s Day … 9•24•2020 ]

[ It Is Okay, In Today’s Day & Age ]
[ To Be Anxious, Depressed Or Sad ]
[ Sprinkled With Short Bouts Of Rage ]

[ When You Feel Confused & Lost ]
[ Seek Out A Friend Or Counselor ]
[ No Matter The Cost ]

[ Some People Get So Loud ]
[ Proclaiming That They Are Way Too Proud ]

[ To Problem Share ]
[ Because They Do Not Care ]
[ To Go There ]

[ So They Won’t ]
[ Then They Don’t ]

(476)▪︎[ The Day Was Ruined … 6•8•2021 ]


[ How Come Pain Is Felt By One Guy, But Not The Other? ]
[ Does That Guy Know How To Cover? ]

[ Cover His Thoughts? ]
[ Cover His Heart? ]
[ This Guy Is Seeing Clearly, While That One Is Seeing Spots ]

[ (WHAT KIND?) Someone Might Ask ]
[ From Behind Their Mask ]

[ But Society Does Not Do This Anymore ]
[ Someone Might Ask Someday ]
[ But They Would Do That, From Behind A Closed Door ]

[ Behind The Door, People Can Rely On Annonymity ]
[ They Can Wreck Havoc ]
[ & Cause A Calamity ]

[ & Then Go On Their Merry Way ]
[ No Matter The Amount Of People’s Lives Were Ruined That Day ]

(226)▪︎[ There Will Come A Day … 3•18•2021 ]

[ I Need To Tell You That The Day Will Come ]
[ When You Are Not Feeling  So Numb ]

[ A Memory Wll Bring A Smile To Your Lips Before
     A Tear Drops From Your Eyes ]
[ You Will Never Listen To The Lies ]

[ Your Memories Are What You Made ]
[ You Never Listened To Those Who Forbade ]

[ You Believe What You Believe ]
[ & You Never Let Them Force You To Leave ] 

[ Always Believe In You ]
[ Always Do What You Need To Do ]

[ Never Show Interest In Only Yourself ]
[ Always Try To Wear The Smallest Belt ]

[ But When You Out Grow Of One, Don’t Throw That
     One Away ]
[ Don’t Throw It Out Because That Is Not What You
     Currently Weigh ]

[ Because Now You Don’t ]

(156)[ Could Be A Sad Day … 2•18•2020 ]

[ Today Could Be A Really Sad Day, If I Let It ]
[ The Thoughts In My Head Have Not Taken A Grip ]
[ Actually My Thoughts Have Been Completely Split ]

[ Which Way Do I Go, What Am I Expected To Do ]
[ Why Should I Ask You? ]

[ What Kind Of Experience Do You Have In These
Kinds Of Things? ]
[ I’d Like To See ]
[ What Your Experience Brings ]

[ When Someone Brings Me Their Story ]
[ As They Are Telling Me About P.T.S.D. ]
[ I Get A Little Wary ]
[ Do You Really Have The Disorder ]
[ Or A Really Harmful Memory? ]

[ Okay, You Experienced, Saw Or Heard Something That
Made It A Bad Event ]
[ So, Now Does Your Mind Get Bent? ]
[ When You Start To Relive How It All Went? ]

[ Or You Just Remember It Well ]
[ You’re Not Reliving The Sight, Sounds Or Smells ]

[ Is It Hard To Get Some Sleep? ]
[ & It’s Next To Impossible To Get Some That’s Very Deep ]

[ I Can’t Let What Has Happened The Last Couple Of Days Get Me
Down ]
[ Send Me Crawling On The Ground ]
[ I’ll Get Up On Own ]
[ To Keep My World Going Around ]

(087)▪︎[ Just Another Day … 1•24•2021 ]

[ Sometimes I Feel That I Am Alone Way Too Much ]
[ It Usually Starts Right After Lunch ]

[ I Do Like My Alone Time, So Don’t Get Me Wrong ]
[ A Couple Of Hours During The Day ]
[ But Not For This Long ]

[ Hours On Top Of Each Other ]
[ All Alone ]
[ Is Sometimes Worse Than Having Someone Here That
     Smothers ]

[ I Won’t Lie ]
[ But I Like Good Conversation As Much As The Next Guy ]
[ Not So Much Over The Phone ]
[ I Prefer It Being Eye To Eye ]

[ I Do Hear Distant Voices In The Background ]
[ But They Stay Over There ]
[ Because They Just Don’t Come Around ]

[ I Try To Be Happy ]
[ While Sitting By Myself ]
[ Watching My Steelers DVD’s ]

[ It Is Very Entertaining Watching Hour After Hour Of Steelers
     Football ]
[ I Won’t Stop Until I Have Watched Them All ]

[ I Love Watching My Steelers Win ]
[ Again, Again, Again & Again ]

[ I Would Love To Show & Share ]
[ [ With Another Person That Also Cares ]

[ Being Left Alone Is Not Considered As Time Well Spent ]
[ One Minute Feels Like An Hour ]
[ So It Doesn’t Make A Dent ]

[ Into The Many Hours That I Have Ahead Of Me ]
[ These Are Some Of The Things That I Think Of When I Feel
     Lonely ]

(281)▪︎[ Another Day … 4•4•2021 ]

[ The Hectic Day Turned Into A Dark, Quiet Night ]
[ & The Wind Was Moving Oh So Slight ]

[ Licking Around The Windowsill ]
[ You Seem So Restless ]
[ You Are Having Problems Laying Still ]

[ To The Left, Than To The Right ]
[ You Keep Rolling Back & Forth In Your Sleepless
     Fight ]

[ Then You See The Lightning ]
[ Flash Across The Moonless Sky ]
[ You Decide To Stop The Fighting ]

[ You Start Your Sleepless Night Routine ]
[ You Have Been Doing Laps Around The House Since Your
     Early Teens ]

[ You Remember The Mornings When You Felt
     Really Ill ]
[ Those Were The Times When You Mixed Your Favorite
     Tequilla & Sleeping Pills ]


[ About 15 Years Ago Your Mind Was Very Hazy ]
[ & Your Thoughts Were Mostly Dark ]
[ Then You Stopped Being Depressed & Lazy ]

[ & Just Settled On Being Depressed ]

~ The End ~
