Wisdom comes with age?
#vsspoem prompt for October 6th, 2024: Wisdom
I don't know, it's hard to say.
I've slowed down, but I don't mind —
Just know that
I've stopped playing games
That I can't play in my own time
Without falling behind.
Comply —
#vsspoem prompt for October 5th, 2024: Harass
What I believe,
You should too,
And I'll harass
Anyone
Who does not think
The way I do.
I am
#vsspoem prompt for October 4th, 2024: Stutter
Still reeling,
Thoughts stuttering,
Shards of trust littering
My every waking moment,
But I think I can tell that we —
Not yet, but eventually —
Will reach a place
That might feel
Somewhat
Okay.
Words yanked back,
#vsspoem prompt for October 3rd, 2024: Yank
Swallowed
Mid-pronunciation,
Bitch-slapped by reason —
You'd never hear the end of this.
I wish I could go
#vsspoem prompt for October 2nd, 2024: Abracadabra
Abracadabra
And make it all okay —
I wish, I wish,
But the world's no longer
Wired that way.
My heart, a map,
#vsspoem prompt for October 1st, 2024: Grueling
Heartache carved
In grueling detail —
Here be dragons,
Here be death,
But where could be
My place?
You took a broken dream
#vsspoem prompt for September 30th, 2024: Congratulations
And made it shine —
Shards radiant,
Reflecting, refracting
A beautiful inner light.
Congratulations.
You found the meaning of life.
An ancient lie,
#vsspoem prompt for September 29th, 2024: Parade
Unquestioned,
Paraded in plain sight —
We
Don't need
To be led.
Days blending with the gray,
#vsspoem prompt for September 28th, 2024: Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm waning —
Waving trees can't compensate
My chronic lack of sun,
Nor for the cold September rain.
Homecomings and sweet goodbyes,
#vsspoem prompt for September 27th, 2024: Homecoming
In absence we become ourselves —
Welcome back, you have changed.
But then again, so have I.
Long for warmth,
#vsspoem prompt for September 26th, 2024: Gilded
Reach for cold —
Gilded dreams
Until we're old.
Ikea sentiments,
#vsspoem prompt for September 25th, 2024: Assemble
Assembled with prepackaged
Nuts and bolts —
Take a stock opinion
That still feels like it's
Your own.
Hearts tread on
#vsspoem prompt for September 24th, 2024: Crunch
Like a shell path —
Crunch on,
Sensitivity be damned.
Where there is a selfish will,
There is always a way.
Primal fears
#vsspoem prompt for September 23rd, 2024: Powderkeg
And existential love,
The flame
And the powderkeg —
Hold me close
And light our world.
Impatient
#vsspoem prompt for September 21st, 2024: Absence
In absence,
In anticipation —
Involuntary knots
At the bottom of
The emptiness within.
Caught in a haze,
#vsspoem prompt for September 20th, 2024: Haze
Gray moods
On a sunny day —
How does one fill
Emptiness?
Movers, shakers,
#vsspoem prompt for September 19th, 2024: Self-destruct
Trigger fingers,
Bought the world
To take it with them —
Risen to the top
To self-destruct.
Patiently waiting —
#vsspoem prompt for September 18th, 2024: Outlines
Mind spinning,
Heart racing —
For normalcy to return
To the outlines
Of you and me.
Come back in,
#vsspoem prompt for September 17th, 2024: Eyes
The safest place —
I'll dry my eyes
And hold you
While we wait
For my storm
To subside.
