My mouse is frozen
But all the gifs are going
A blogger's haiku
Anger is the next thing to setting me off,
Even a hug won't make me soft

Anger stays forever within,
Anger acts in all ways of sin

Anger fills my heart and soul,
Anger takes a mighty toll

Anger lessens but can never leave,
Anger you hope to never receive

Anger for me is different from you,
Anger you see tells me what to do

Anger will sit and whisper in my ear,
Anger sits and tells me all that I fear.
I hope you would appreciate
that I still keep you around
by wrapping myself in the blankets
you and your mom made me,
your sweater that I think I stole
is still my favorite sweater
I wear it when I want
to feel loved again
for just a little
I'm not saying
I still love you
like I used to
or that I want
you again
I'm just saying
you have a spot
in my heart
as a
meaningful
friend

Virtuous
The honest man lied
The generous one stole
Kindness showed its evil side
Their hearts became cold
The gentle one became violent
And the faithful is not here to stay
But there is one who will always remain the same
My God who is forever true

She curls,
her curly fur curls,
round her soft,
and she is oft
found sleepng, on her bed,
                         on any bed,
the grey sweater, knit for her,
she wears,
it is her color, matches her fur,
brightens her eyes,
belly breathing,
small movement without
a care,
she is aware of every sound,
when she is curled soft and round.
Rage ripples through my veins
like cheese on top of a pizza
ready to be taken out of the oven.

*"Be careful. I'm hot to the touch."
Hey pretty girl,
Who asked you
To take on the world?
They don't know what you've been through
That you had a child
When you were one yourself
You grew up so seamlessly
Even when you got little help.
You work two jobs
Care for the homeless
In the most extreme way.
I have learned more from you
Than I can ever repay.
Still, you never consider yourself
Unlucky or unfortunate.
Just because we are different
Does not mean a thing
People seem to think
That you're beer and I'm champagne
That isn't how it works at all.
My parents say
You've made questionable choices
Like they haven't?
I don't understand
Why money is so important
Just because we come from
Separate sectors of the financial latter
Does not mean
We lack a friendship that matters
For Kelly
