Sometimes I sit blankly staring for hours.
Sometimes I sit and doodle for ages.
Sometimes I sit and let my day dreams take me.
Always I sit.

A 105 pound blob of potential energy.
Anxious to move yet not a reason to.
Minutes turn to hours which turn to days...
I forgot to eat again..

Watching your self age is the real 'reality TV show'.
I've cut off my connections egger to be my own.
But now I'm paranoid and can not get close.
I watch myself wither away in the smoke.

I stumble with words and never look them in the eyes.
I'm quiet and awkward and timed and shy.
I used to have confidence in the future.
But now, only questions and fears.

A perpetual debt hangs over my ears

From social-butterfly
To anti-social,
That’s what happens
When you get cut off

It seems I have forgotten how to make friends.
Or perhaps I'm too afraid to.
Once the life of the party.
Now the one never there.

This journey to be my own
Will be long and slow
Unless I get up and get on the go
Yet my fears are like shackles
And my debts are glue
They keep me sitting

Always I sit
I wrote this a few weeks ago.

Like a lovely beast
poetry devoured me.

With its sharp tongue it cut me,
leaving its poetic scares.

It moved into the darkest places
lighting a blaze egger to spread
beyond my imagination.

It overflowed the rim of my cup,
slowly flooding the pages you read.

My lips once dehydrated and chapped, now my thirst has been quenched
by the need to write.

Poetry devoured me transforming
me into a poetic format.

I am going to work on a project. I am going to write a book called Ashen Rose Darkly Written, Between The Weeds Grow My Poetic Roots. I am going to look for free self publishing websites. Wish me luck. ♥️

I love you more than I can bare
With you so much that math can't measure
I want to spend my life with you
As so as we meat
So egger to show my love
For you off of vu
For once
But please
Don't suffer in silence.
Today I'm Nathaniel Egger  , walking the clover narrows , enjoying his java and the morning Sparrows ...  Tomorrow morn with the flick of a switch I'm the Eskimo Pie that fell off the stick ..
