radio radio radio
running running gone
playing drums, playing hits
i dont recognize a song

typing writing rhyming
my hands shake and curl
carrying notes on my phone
nothing heavier than words

wait wait wait maybe —
my voice caught in my chest
nothing beats the weight
of the words left unsaid

My body is paralyzed.
My fingers are numb.
My chest heaves and tightens up.
My eyes dart across the room.
My tears are fire.
My nose is runny.
My lips are dry.
My heart is shattered.
My mind races.
You can tell me how much it will be ok, but I feel differently.

Far from done,
But nothing left
To give.
Just the loneliness
Creeping from
Outer edges to
My center.
What will bring me
From empty.

I have wandered away from
Hello Poetry
I have missed my fellow poets
Reading your words
I realize has become a piece of me
Like a magnet to a key 🔑
Hello Poetry poets have become
Poetic instigators to me
Your imaginations stir my mind
Waking realization
My poetic side will never decline
What I have to say to you is
THANK YOU
For sometimes I do neglect
When I am in pain
In my heart❤ I know
My friends at HP will motivate me
To sustain.
Love you guys!!!

Things are not the way
They used to be
Every new day a test
Leading up to what
Is next to see
So I pledge to press on
My daily quest
To do my best
Regardless of
What other's expect
From me
I know my Father
Has the plan
That has always
Been meant to be

Being branded with shame
        While it still boils in my blood
Leaves me with cold fingers
        And vice-gripped lungs.
