The lies do not stop once they start
Know I'll eventually master the art
How long until they come apart?

I think it is time to come clean
Should never let fear be seen
No one know details of your routine

So go ahead and hide what is true
Sanity secretly an unlocked open zoo
You've all got answers but not one clue
Day 24: a poem unlike anything you've written before
Dylan McFadden Dec 2019
Sometimes more ought be reduced –
A selection of Best be made

For “many” and “much” make not a man,
Nor more of things the same

But something Good, and something True,
And frequent to it go

It’ll make a wise and learned man –
Devout and humble too

It's ebbing away my sanity
to the point where I use profanity.
While it feels like I have no gravity,
I'm in this world of rotten cavity.

Every step forward,
Every step back,
Every step toward,
Every step insomniac.

Roll the dice once or twice and take a break to reduce headache.
That's the price of a sacrifice when you stay awake till daybreak.

im not in the front of his mind
im with my best friend on a drive
we laugh and we cry

I see sadness in your eyes
As if you knew what I saw
As if you know what I think
As if you fall how I fell
Mark Toney Oct 2019
We're so fragile, I can't even think...

My love was dear to me and to the family,
Then came the enemy—Death.
I know the day is near when Death will disappear.
We'll welcome our loved ones again.

But we'll have to wait 'till then.
Death is the wage of sin.
Yes we'll have to wait 'till then.
Death is the wage of sin.

We're so fragile, I can't even cry...

It's so unfair and most difficult to bear
Fighting thoughts and emotions that won't end.
Pray for the day God will wash tears away
And our loved ones will be in our arms again.

But we'll have to wait 'till then.
Death is the wage of sin.
Yes we'll have to wait 'till then.
Death is the wage of sin.

We're so fragile I can't even speak...

Pursuing a thought
Seek, think, understand
Believe in the thought

Seek new things and believe

Deep down,
In the ocean, sound
asleep is the most beautiful creature.
Though many have tried
None have survived
the life of searching
for the secret to where it thrives.
except
one man
with fire in his eyes
managed to contrive
some way to not think
and just dive.
And now, he is the only one that feels
alive.
