Good enough
I guess
It's in their eyes
they expected better
and they didn't
expect much
stupid mirrors.
mikecccc Apr 2016
A vault full of history
with haphazard security
they lose stuff and let things
get switched out for fakes
If this weren't a metaphor
i'd suggest replacing them
with a kid with a stick

Creatures
one and all
some
are statistically inclined
to one thing
or another
but we're chaotic creatures
and oddities abound
still we fight
the same old fight
about who belongs where
can't we all just get along
history says no
what do you say?

Play your song
And take us away
We'll leave our
Tiny town and
We'll drop our
Tiny issues for you
Play your song
And we'll follow you
Right off a cliff
It just sounds
So interesting.
mikecccc Oct 2015
watching you bleed out
is so much less
than I expected
like watery paint
sliding down
A portrait
your last gasps
sound fake
and unrehearsed
I hope you have
an understudy
cause your
out of the show.

A time of change
one second we're there
one second more
and we're somewhere new
it might look the same
right now
but trust me
everything is different.
mikecccc Sep 2016
don't stumble through them
and don't just stand there
try to know everything
maybe write a will.
mikecccc Feb 2016
Kind of an animal
Kind of a man
like so many others
but in a more literal sense
Placed in the labyrinth
away from polite society
one day some one
will come
to put you out
of our misery.

A pox on em all
All reflective and ****
Telling me things
With nonverbal cues
That I so don't wish to hear
Too many lines
Too many dots
That is all wrong
That just isn't right
I want to deny it
But I know that I see the truth.
mikecccc May 2016
Distaste has found
a warm welcome
in a certain hearts chamber
not hate mind you
far too passionate
but distaste
a deep distaste
embers that burn
just enough to cauterize
the wounds that were
truth be told
mostly self inflicted.
does that make
any sense
mikecccc Nov 2016
New news
Is worthless
If it's dull
Old news
Is relevant
If it sells
Lies are timeless
Half truths to
Sell them
Hot off the presses
Into the eager hands
Of the now misinformed.
No news means
You live in a cave

people build
the weirdest things
dam practicality
we need
heads on mountains
heads on islands
and heads on pikes
it will freak out
the neighbors
which is always a win.
mikecccc Oct 2016
it's interesting
to see a burning heart
ignored
passion and dedication
should get
something
shouldn't it
maybe
maybe they stopped paying
the person
who was suppose
to care about such things.
mikecccc Nov 2015
One forever
one for always
like a god dam penguin
it simply can't be
one for you
one for me
it never lasts
and everyone cheats
or so the cheaters say
maybe there is
a grain of truth
maybe not.
mikecccc Sep 2015
You should talk
To the moon
It's not very outspoken
And won't share much
But is a great listener
Plus you won't have
Any trouble looking it
In the eye.
mikecccc Mar 2016
If you ask me
I say it's a new day
Some would say
It's still yesterday
No you see
Twelve has come
Twelve has gone
A new day is here
Perhaps
It will be pleasant.
mikecccc Sep 2016
Sleep the day away
break your fast
at sun set
terribly inappropriate
your circadian rhythm
will be all messed up
but what's a nightshifter
to do?
mikecccc Feb 2016
blood sucker
disease bringer
what if any
good do you bring
you must have a place
is it just to bring suffering
if we killed you all
would we be making
a mistake or would we
be correcting one.
the bane of summer
alongside heatstroke
mikecccc Feb 2016
idiot
stay in the darkness
all you get
for trying to leave
is a headache
that light
isn't even real
they set it up
they hang it high
they know how
attractive it is.
mikecccc Aug 2015
A fire in your belly
To do something
Maybe nothing big
No great deeds
Just survival
If nothing else
Not a roaring fire
But a few embers
Deep down there
right?
mikecccc Sep 2015
I need to say
nothing
the words
are dancing
on my tongue
waiting to be said
but i can't
i just
can't
at least
not anywhere
they will be heard.

be a shame
to wipe the sweat
from your brow
look up from your desk
and realize you've dug
your own grave.
mikecccc Feb 2019
To the side
another everything
to the other another
the only difference is degrees
A little better A little worse
Could I fill the shoes
of the best version of me
would it be wrong
to steal from myself
I don't have A goatee
So I can't be the evil me.
mikecccc Jul 2016
A painting
that evokes
either
claustrophobia
or comfort.
occasionally both
mikecccc Nov 2015
A moment of passion
That was perhaps
Less than romantic
And now they're dead
A bit left on the bed
And the walls
Don't take any trophies
It's far too risky
I wonder if you'll
Go all tell tale heart
When the police
Come a callin.

notes caught inside
opened from time to time
to beguile passerby's
I bet it would go well
with a ballerina figurine.
mikecccc Apr 2016
the world
appears to be paused
the streets are empty
silence is in control
A storm is coming
something wild
dangerous
but
beautiful
in its way.
mikecccc Apr 2016
SPEAK UP ******
you quiet down
I speak
at a reasonable decibel
everyone else
is just too used
to yelling
probably.
mikecccc Nov 2015
Okay brother
Not the worst son
And cynical sloth
I fear are the words
They'll write
On my grave
I know kinda morbid
To worry about that
But alas I never learned
How not to dwell
On disturbing pasts
Or uncertain futures
The ghosts of Christmas
Past and future
Will be most disappointed.

When I stand in
picturesque settings
All I notice
are the shadows
lurking
just to the side
not quite out of frame.
mikecccc Mar 2016
It says everything
I wish It'd shut up
I would wear another
But alas I may not
Due to employee Contracts.

strip away civilization
and your neighbors
become monsters
who hunt the weak
and let might
make right
you really
don't want to be
at the bottom
of this heap.

The innocence of youth
which isn't always kept
in the hands of the young
it can be held in aged hands
though everyone wonders
how it can be
perhaps sought after
in the belief that
ignorance is bliss.
mikecccc Sep 2016
Trapped in a mirror
by your own vanity

Why are you loved

Hearts
Are kinda stupid.
sometimes anyway
mikecccc Apr 2016
Some things
go with out saying
or so it's said
and so occasionally
something everyone knows
is forgotten since all any knows
is that they should already know it.
mikecccc Mar 2016
Pretty but absent
Here's about
I should go
To the city
Where neon abounds
Gasp
I could get a hat
That glows
In the dark.
mikecccc Dec 2015
We love to say
Never again
We promise
Ourselves
At the end of each
Hand crafted horror
That never again
Will we allow
This to happen
Too bad
We kinda ****
At keeping those
Promises.

and if you don't
than I never have to
right?
mikecccc Jul 2015
What are you doing
Should I do that
Would that be weird
No okay
Well carry on then
I will do the thing
And hope it's right
Or maybe I won't
Oh nevermind.

familiar patterns
are hard to break
even the ones
that are unhealthy
often seem safer
than an unknown.
mikecccc Sep 2016
The thought means little
speaking is an action
thinking isn't
but time won't stop
while your lost in thought.
and your thoughts affect you
occasionally others to.
mikecccc Sep 2015
A most malevolent stead
it rides right into your brain
and brings unpleasant dreams
Surreal ones that
make your brain spin
and ones too real
to let you move at all
is there anywhere to hide
any way to guard my mind.
mikecccc Dec 2015
I'm on the outs
With our beloved sun
So I associate with
The moon
Spending my nights awake
And my days unconscious
Is my preference
I'd give the moon a hug
If I didn't hate
Things being in
My space
Hoo.

No meaning
except what we choose
so do as you will
let chaos rain
but rain always ends
order will be imposed
at least as much order
as can ever be
a new meaning will come
perhaps something nicer
maybe the sun will explode
I never know.
mikecccc Oct 2017
it remains unwritten
but we know
how it is
how they usually are.
mikecccc Nov 2016
no waiting
just volunteers
expecting more
I got a participation button
maybe they should
have put out food.
mikecccc Jul 2016
Where will you wander
Where can you wander
in this well charted land
all the landmarks are noted
who needs a pathfinder
a lot of folks
oddly enough
they know not quite enough
could use a pamphlet.
mikecccc Feb 2016
That wonderful
Silk scarf
That comfortable
Bit of cloth
You gave to me
To reward me
To cheer me up
It's starting to chafe
It's starting to tighten
Not of its of own accord
I can't return it
I can't accidentally
Leave it behind
Will it stay with me
Until the end.

Life's genre
Just in case you thought
We couldn't classify everything
Life can be summed up
But it wasn't meant to be
I think
mikecccc Nov 2016
A fist
is no gavel
slamming the ground
crying out proclamations
no one need heed
wasted time
making a spectacle
you can be a YouTube star
for a bit.
