Thoughts of Modern Minutes

It's not about you; I promise

It needs no resolution
M Clement Jul 2013
"That's the great thing
  about poetry,"
         she said with a smile
Sharing is caring.

Toxication
M Clement Jul 2014
I exchange one vice for another
Skin for Skin
Or pixelated emulation
I seem to only care for the end effect

Am I the only one who dislikes this?

I listen to music
I talk to other men
And I consider what I'm doing to be some sort of sin
No one else seems on my side.
So here I lay
Struggling in silence

Disappointed in self

And what's worse is I'd drag others down with me
If she'd let me.
And no one I've met is able to pull me out of a whole
Have I just kept digging? Is that the issue?

There's been prayer, there's been suffering

And in the end, I am just hoping this can be used for glory
Rather than condemnation
Because God knows if I could blink, and everything would be fine, I'd do it, and never struggle again.
But maybe that's where the glory rises from.

All the asides aside
M Clement Nov 2018
I feel like ****
I've hit a ditch
Flipped my side
****** my ride
I'm in the pit
I ate a 'wich
I saw the tide
The Dude Abides

**** with your human
I'm unimportant
Lack of dereliction
Leaves me inordinate
I'm a work of fiction
Take me and my dic(k)tion
I am losing friction:
I'm falling out my mind.
M Clement Jul 2019
The biggest compliment he could get was,
“I like that.”
“That’s creative,” coming in a close second.

Alienated
Spaceship flying *******
That last word’s disingenuous.
I’ve only ****** a ******.
She’s only ****** me.
I guess we got that going for us.

He stares at a pad and paper,
Or maybe the computer equivalent.
Who trusts their own hand to be honest?
Who entrusts tomes to their own handwriting?
I mean, can you read that ****?
I guess if you were slow and methodical,
But stream-of-consciousness doesn’t allow that,
Even if the tag is a little off.

I’ve got money to keep living,
Even if most of it is credit.
What’s my side hustle?
Using my debit.

Let it alone, is what I called the last ****
God, if I could turn these to hits.
Some bangers, some ear-worms.

I just want someone to read this,
And be like, “****, I feel heard.”

Well, what's left, then?
M Clement Sep 2013
There's nothing left to be written
on paper.
For it's all been said,
And it's all been read;
Most of its writers: dead.
Sharing is caring.

M Clement Apr 2013
Eventually, all of me will wither
                                     And fade to dust
M Clement Apr 2014
If there's something to write,
      it's certainly not in my mental sphere.

Space
M Clement Jun 2013
I think it's time I gave you yours.
I'll be off elsewhere.
M Clement Sep 2013
I want to write poetry
All I get is words.
I have felt like I'm not really in my poetry anymore. This is a reflection of that feeling.
M Clement Apr 2014
***** my sideways
Laterallity
I make words out of structure
And there's little left to say.

There's a secret door to your right
There's a pen to your left
Create your own worlds
Or be stuck in the one you're in

What's better?
Escaping reality in fantasy
Calamity

We look towards this life as something
So negative
What if the life we're living is the utmost positive?

What if this is the best?
The dissatisfied part of me screams in agony
The happier part shouts for joy.

This truly is the best life.
What really matters, I suppose
Is how we conduct ourselves
and the views we hold.

This feels uninspired
M Clement May 2014
It's hard to write
When one lacks desire
Just as much as it's hard to go on
When one does not feel the need

So what's there to do?
Find distance
How?
That's up to you
Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook prompts; this one: distancing oneself from apathy.

Anything I said would do nothing
                     to change us completely

Let it alone
M Clement Jul 2019
I think I’m ****** up,
An island in an ocean,
An ocean full of people;
Welcome, you’re alone.

Let’s talk in Scrabble
Bananagrams from the mouth
******* off the dome.

Computer programs, give me courage
If x=no
And y=yes
I used to be able to program my feelings
Now I got pills for that.
If I get in some sort of feeling, I'll write. Today's the day, I guess.

One could say...
M Clement Sep 2013
I think I tried,
I tried to try
And in the end
One could question
The significance.
