it's hard
when you have all the tools and knowledge to improve your life but the only missing ingredients are motivation and consistency.

Another year passes.
An arbitrary collective delusion.
Another year of promises.
Words write themselves some days.
Others, require a show of force.
This spectrum grows day by day.
Business and pleasure.
Business brings consistency.
Pleasure brings creativity.
Drown in expectations or,
Suffer in idle waters.
I seek balance.
I see it on the horizon.

You spread over many, many days is a mighty team.

Material things don’t entice me
Empty promises don’t  count as a remedy
Flowery words are pleasing to the ear
With apparent intentions clear

Is this just an infatuation?
An effect of my subtle imagination
This relentles game of tug of war
How I wish it wouldn’t end up in a scar

All I know is that I’m tired of this dance
Might as well give us a chance?
You have gone way past this armour
Consistency, that is all I am asking for
Madison Greene Oct 2018
when my infatuation dims
midnight conversations
fade into radio silence
I'm sorry for making you my muse
you look at me in ways I always wanted someone to
and in another life I'd love you the way I should
my weakness is I've only ever held on to unrequited love
and I'm not sure I know how to let someone stay
consistency intimidates me
maybe heartache is more of a friend than I'd like to admit

If you love her fight for her

If not, then please leave her

For she deserves a better lover

One that can truly adore her

And they say consistency,
by and large is the key;
then, with just a glitch on being consistent
it killed me consistently.

your name is the only thing that makes the alphabet matter,
I knew this was real when you told me to stop dreaming
and start living. I love you.
it'll never change.
yes, this is about love. because everything is and I'm glad I've finally come to terms with it. shameless self-promo but I just decided to make an instagram for my poetry (@deadtalksx) follow me if you want I guess.
after looking in on how
Jen's selections were faring
they indicated that they'd
be very nicely squaring

was pleasing to see
most of them reaching
the front cover's face
only the odd one
was put in another
compartment's space

it so gladdened Jen
when her options
got colossal views
she has a consistency
in this area which make
for better reviews

those pieces she's
given a re-showing
are set to be bathed
with a bright glowing

oh yes dear Jen
can't be beat
on choosing
something real neat
