I abhor the state of boredom
That feeling of endless thoughts swarming in your head
Yet, nothing appealing ever comes to mind

So many hours and days lie ahead of me
Hopefully, I’ll find some use of them soon
Recently, my days have been becoming more productive. Schedules work miracles.

Hey ;)
I’m bored.
You up to talk?
I know it’s been a while,
But I think we can give each other a reason to smile.

I can’t differentiate the days of this month, can you?
Life keeps spinning on...
Like a tire that has escaped its automobile.
As it rolls down forgotten hills and prairie sides
Which lie far beyond society’s walls
It hits me.
If we are going to fall down, why don’t we do it together?

So, send me a “hey” back.
Let’s rekindle our camaraderie!
That way, we can attack
The future side by side.
I wrote this poem late at night and chose not to edit it. Even though it isn’t one of my best works, I wanted it to exist in the same state that it was created in. Feel free to leave a comment.

I don’t understand you...
At all.
Yes, you, the one with the hollowed out head.
There’s an immense amount of empty space inside there.
All I see is a vast horizon of nothingness.
What can you give back to the world
if you don’t even possess a cerebrum?

You’re language is composed of
Misshaped and deformed ****** expressions
That are too basic for the average man’s understanding
Your incompetence, even at its finest, is grotesque.
I can’t associate with it.
Anger is a powerful emotion.

Thank you for a few smiles
I know, every once in a while, I’ll think of us
Because the time we spent together meant something to me

When we went downhill, it stopped feeling like a dream
Reality sunk in— it wasn’t meant to be
But it’s okay!

We learned and we hurt...together but apart
Now, our hearts are mended
For we both cannot afford to suspend
Our individual aspirations and dreams
Because moments pass quickly when one is stuck feeling blue
We just didn’t make sense — we both have goals to pursue  
There was no need for our inspiration to diminish
Or to distract one another from what we were destined to achieve
It was our time to be finished
But it’s okay!

You weren’t ever here to stay
“The West” was inscribed in your soul
Whereas “The East” described mine
Our paths flip-flopped
So, we were bound to stop
But it’s okay!

I’m sorry for the impulsivity
That soon manifested itself in toxicity
It’s not okay, it shouldn’t have ended “that” way
Every relationship is a learning experience. :)

A poem a day
Might convince my happiness to stay
I know it’s right within my grasp
If only I could secure the clasp

A song a day
Might teach me where I belong
I know the melodies aren’t far away
Because my happiness is here to stay
You have the power to allow yourself to experience happiness.

Cry
Let yourself cry, if you need to.
But, don’t let the tears control your life.
Moments pass by too quickly.
They shouldn’t all be blurred
We aren’t perfect; we are human.

Oh Suzy, where do I begin?
We met only briefly and it’s sad that our time together was so thin
Our small conversation meant something to me
Even though there was a lack of mutual cooperation

“Vaccines,” you said “were the works of the devil”
“Brought no good to a world already full of evil”
I tried to persuade you, let you see the other side
But at the end of the day, you decided it was best if I was denied

“I’m still here, Suzy”
My thoughts are clear now
Life feels so beautiful that I can almost imagine I’m in a symphony
“There isn’t any vaccine that’ll get rid of me”

Suzy, I’m sorry, this was a losey for yousy
Suzy Berlinsky is nonetheless a role model.
