(1335)▪︎[ It’s Not Always … 11•23•2019 ]

[ Perfection Is Not Always Possible ]
[ But Progress Is ]
[ When Things Look Impossible ]
[ That’s When You Make A Wish ]

[ A Wish That Can Come True ]
[ Maybe Even Some Kind Of An Action That You Knew ]
[ You Could Do ]

[ Be It Make More Money Or Be Patient As You Wait ]
[ Maybe A Wish Could Be ]
[ Walking Clear Across The State ]
[ Then Maybe You Will See ]
[ If You Could Possibly Find Your Lifetime Mate ]

[ Then You Could Settle Down & Have A Child Or Two ]
[ Then You Could Mold Them ]
[ Into ]
[ A Miniature You ]

[ Or Maybe You’d Want ]
[ To Have Them As Complete Opposites ]
[ Instead Of An Identical Robot ]

[ Not Everyone Wants To Raise An Identical Twin ]
[ Unless You Give Birth To The Pair ]
[ Where Would You Begin? ]

[ Would You Always Want To Look In The Mirror
Whenever You Look @ Your Child? ]
[ Would You Want A Copy Of The Wild Side? ]
[ Or The One That Was Most Mild? ]

[ I Would Want My Son ]
[ To Be His Own Person ]

[ Perfection Is Not Attainable ]
[ Even If You Are Really Personable ]
[ Is The Chance To Be Always Available? ]

[ No ]
[ So ]

[ Does That Mean That You Don’t Try? ]
[ Do You Really Want Or Mean To Be That Guy? ]

(1)▪︎[ There’s An Ache … 1•1•2020 ]

[ Sometimes We’re Together, Sometimes We Are Split Apart ]
[ When You’re Not With Me ]
[ You Have An Ache In Your Heart ]

[ Everytime That You Feel Strong ]
[ Something Always Happens ]
[ & Then Everything Goes Wrong ]

[ (GET UP, GET UP) Is What You Tell Yourself ]
[ If You Can’t Help Yourself, There’s Nobody Else ]

[ In Times Of Uncertainty ]
[ You Have Found That You Say (I CAN ONLY RELY ON ME) ]

[ Whenever You Look In The Mirror ]
[ & Your Mind Is Thinking Clear ]

[ You Know ]
[ That If You Walk A Steady Walk ]
[ & Keep Things Slow ]

[ You Will Thrive ]
[ As You Struggle Every Second Of Every Minute Of Every Hour ]
[ To Stay Alive ]

[ But There Are Days When You Want To Buy Yourself A Vowell ]
[ & Throw In The Towell ]

(151)▪︎[ Not Always … 2•19•2021 ]

[ When Someone Sets Out To Write A Speech ]
[ Are They Out To Teach? ]
[ Or Preach? ]

[ Some Do Neither ]
[ Some Could Use The Help From A Good Teacher ]

[ Were The Words All Wrong? ]
[ Or Was The Message Not Very Strong? ]

[ Some Messages Meaning Is Hidden From Plain
     Sight ]
[ Some Cause A Fight ]
[ Because Those That Are Completely Wrong Think
     That They Are In The Right ]

[ Some Do Not Have A Message @ All ]
[ But Who Actually Makes That Call? ]

[ The Writer? ]
[ Or The Reader? ]
[ The One With The Yellow Highlighter? ]
[ Or The Cheater? ]

[ The Cheater Is Always The One That Doesn’t Like
     To Get Caught ]
[ They Hate Being Put On The Spot ]

[ When Speeches Are Made Do They Also Need
     To Be Heard? ]
[ Must You Hang On Every Word? ]

[ No ]
