Bar Hopping
Rely on yourself and the world will follow Own your words by choosing them Command yourself, stand up straight Control your own heavens Do not drown on your neglected self-esteem Enjoy your lone harmony Without it you're hardly credible

Reality Check
I watched a person fall and roll down a snowbank today I could not stay home any longer The paint is peeling The roof is leaking I drove myself to the beach Parked the car and sat Slowly realizing, that the person who fell was me

Self By Self Action
All I heard was the ocean No signs of rain Footsteps to a forgotten memory All parks are closed A lonesome walker passes by What seem like hours were only two footsteps from point A to B What happened? The undertow must have taken its hold Moving me about like a washing machine 12-14-18

Remembering Us
It’s been raining all day To spaced to care about my whereabouts Been floating on this mattress, drifting between yellow lines The time on the clock glows brightly At 9:17 Dark, but I can see them Wet, walking, they're on the sidewalk While I drift on a sea of gray and yellow She is wearing a frown and it makes me sad What is her life like, walking in the rain? It's coming down hard Sadness Maybe they’ll vanish out of my view, but not out of my mind I am sorry 11-4-18
