The clock ticks In time,
With a heart that's out of time
The second hand sweeps.
X98
Struggling with others nonsense
Focused on bettering the situation
Leave the current job for a career
Chasing those dreams past due
Setting goals too much on hold
Focused turned away from distractions
The hearts been hurt many times
Before not welcoming anymore
Worked hard and promotion denied
The agony to see the lazy person
Who got the position be careless
A hard worker giving his all
Living with rejection in denial
Trying not be know for health issue
sin
My hero's weathered
forehead
My inflictions
stress  of
wrinkly skin
but the focus
is replaced pain
to  numb-ness
of his eyes.
Whistling of whispers
flowing
white of ancient
hair,
memories  like long
forgotten fleets
I come to realize,
Pride replaced
by shame,
and which is
the greater sin?
Who am I?
or I that became.....
X99
Trying to break this cycle of crazy
Turned away from all those things
What once matter is now worthless
Doing the work struggling alone
Approval now longer required
Reached out now forgotten
Bad memories remain escape the pain
A chopped  up apple
A small satsuma
A glass of iced water
Is my idea of bliss
On a hot summer day
