Today is a new day
Yet it all feels the same
No one else to blame
For mediocrity
Comfort and stability
Stunts all abilities
The search for balance is a balancing act

A broken soul trying to heal
Struggle within dealing with change
Sometimes its not for the better
Stuck with the worse
Trying to be better
Wanting the best got less
Stuck with others problems
Working with what's given
Back and forth with emotions
Writing to cope with feelings
Gave that up not going back
Never again now facing it
Prefer to not be around it

Infamous one

D7

Cared too much
Never good enough
Made the most of things
Gave everything
Left with nothing
Seeking direction
No longer walking oblivious
Been doing it for a while
Not looking for useless lead
Doing lazy people's work
Asked a question calling the truth
Now defensive got offended

Sadness

Sadness

I feel sleepy,
And i'm quite tired
It has been a long day
And so I lost my desire
To live and to strive

Surviving just feels so forced, so cliche

I felt nothing new, but why are they so amused?

Is it really that beautiful to experience the same thing, over and over again?

Just freaking depressed, just random scribbles during break time

Musings

You remember our talk last night about self-reflection?
I felt like I needed to do some of that without
distractions.
So I drove for an hour and went to a safe place.
The mountains were inviting, red tail hawks screeching.
The tranquility of the moment was just what I needed.

In the solitude I found the answer to a "problem" that was plaguing my mind.
I have so much love to give ...
to someone who deserves it.
So much caring and compassion ...
for anyone who needs it.
Reciprocation in feelings and understanding
that
I'm not broken.
I was hurt
and now I'm healing.

Now in that truth I saw the true meaning
Not all poems have to rhyme
not everyone is going to understand the chaos
that's in your mind
And that's okay.
Because I love myself enough
to know
when to let those people go.

Never fall in love with a poet...

A Thomas Hawkins

Never fall in love with a poet...

Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

Ember Sky

Ember Sky

Behold,
The embers of the sky,
Telling myths, a winters night,
Winds blowing, trees bowing,
Often, they whispered a voice,
Warming toes, a freezing nose,
An aurora, a sight out of coast.

Behold,
Each glory of design,
Sparkles wooingly outshine,
An epitome of colors playing,
Often seeking its own grand,
Forming from an artist hand,
Someone will but no one can.

Behold,
As memories out spores,
Bound of keys, tied with thee,
A Moet of an enduring heart,
Sprung out of an idled dream,
A man-woman of abstract art,
Weaving as embers sky depart.
