As Well
I know for sure this won't end well, At least for them, and not for me. But if not me, then time will tell And there's no telling how soon that'll be. That impatience always comes When you're rooting against someone. I'd call it something you would know, If I knew myself, to say how so. Call me jealous, or something alike, And in their shoes the sick get sicker. So switch to vengeance, burning spite, Should anger prove to **** me quicker. A chance to say 'I told you so'. Perhaps that's something that I'm owed. Perhaps it's something that I want. Perhaps it's really all I want. And so I'll wait, and wait some more. I'll wait and wait and wait and wait And maybe by the end I'll know If this is good or love or hate. I know for sure this won't end well And so I'll play the waiting game. If all goes south, then I'm to blame. I guess to them, it's all the same.

The Waiting Game
Oh, the great and mighty Dragonfly. How he moves like no other, How he fights like no other, With any shark who would apply. With any shark who would apply, That great and mighty Dragonfly Would turn their angles right around. Before the ring, he’d beat them down. From every foe, he’s seen esteem. Astonished by his skill and poise, And in the minds of men and boys, He is the idol, hero, dream. Those who’ve yet to see him fight Have also yet to see the light, That new-age light that’s sparked late flames, And also snuffed unworthy names. They say that Mr. Dragonfly Has piles and piles of letters wrapped. Letters and letters of envy trapped, As many as of praise awry. Contrarily, in his own mind, He thinks eventually they’ll find The rumors should be flipped around And pedestal be taken down. For when arena lights are off Away from drunken cheer and quaff Away from praise aside of scoff The hero has no golden crown. He has no talent to be praised, No superpower to amaze, But just a body, flesh and bone, A mirrored face he’s never known.

Dragonfly
Sometime between the dusk and dawn I woke abruptly, and was gone And miles away from house and street And sprawling meadow at my feet. It smelled of summers new and old And glowed the color marigold And like one weathered winter hut, Was sheltered from the snow and cold. My feet had been ahead of me, So wasn't long till I could see A tiny soul, tranquil and hush As I waded through the brush. I knelt and asked him for the time. He told me it was time to go and let the Mr. Sandman know to whisk me back into the snow.
