Writing of the Unknown

Writing of the Unknown Jul 2023

Did you really wish to talk
or did you not remember when I told you I was different

you praised me
when I helped a child not breakdown
but yet it was all I could
not to do the same

You get mad when I get overwhelmed
always have to be perfect
but how can I be perfect
when you keep trying to knock me off my tightrope

so did you really wish to talk
or was this the cover
because you don't want to admit
I'm different then you?

Flashes

So swift
So small
you blink
and its gone

Small idea
Large applications
understanding
the concepts beneath

Stories untold
Inventions to be created
Past pain
coming back up

So swift
So small
All the thoughts
of a troubled mind

Some Family

"We're there for each other"
"We care about each other"
"If you need anything, let us know"
"We will support you"
"We're a family"

But what when issues arise?
What happens when I need support
and all you do is tear apart my ideas
my hope
my dreams
What then

yeah, we're a family
a dysfunctional
argumentive
damaging family

She Wolf

So caring
So passionate
So perfect

A simple creature
one who will fight and die for her chosen mate
but the one who also rules underneath everyone's nose

A simple woman
Beautiful and cunning
A war-ready atomic bomb

She will hold you so close
yet destroy everything you know
should you ever cross her

A woman who knows what she wants
A woman who will always get what she wants
A woman with fire in her soul

Oh what to do, what to do

Frustration of this
Frustration of that
Never enough here
Never enough there

Can this cycle
of pain and misery
just stop
or must it be my hand
to finally stop the clock?

Unknown Path, Unknown Travel

So simple
A promise of hope
A promise of gold
A promise of home

So simple
A promise to inspire
A promise to help
A promise to guide

Was it a promise you made
to break my soul
Was it a promise you made
to leave me confused
Was it a promise you made
to leave me alone

A simple statement
A simple promise

would I still take it
if I knew the misery
it would entail?

62%

I used to have to charge my phone at least twice a day
constant text
constant calls
were always were talking
learning about each other
despite the years, we shared

I used to risk injury by sleeping on my phone as it charged
refusing to get off the phone
even if it was to listen to your breathing
I still wanted to hear it
a reminder
that I wasn't alone

Now I sit
Drowning out our memories
trying to ignore your voice
and my phone sits silent
only at 62% remaining
at midnight
