Falling Behind

Wisdom comes with age?
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.




#vsspoem prompt for October 6th, 2024: Wisdom

Comply

Comply —
What I believe,
You should too,
And I'll harass
Anyone
Who does not think
The way I do.




#vsspoem prompt for October 5th, 2024: Harass

Still Reeling

I am
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.




#vsspoem prompt for October 4th, 2024: Stutter

Bitch-slapped

Words yanked back,
Swallowed
Mid-pronunciation,
Bitch-slapped by reason —
You'd never hear the end of this.

#vsspoem prompt for October 3rd, 2024: Yank

Abracadabra

I wish I could go
Abracadabra
And make it all okay —
I wish, I wish,
But the world's no longer
Wired that way.




#vsspoem prompt for October 2nd, 2024: Abracadabra

Grueling Detail

My heart, a map,
Heartache carved
In grueling detail —
Here be dragons,
Here be death,
But where could be
My place?




#vsspoem prompt for October 1st, 2024: Grueling

Congratulations

You took a broken dream
And made it shine —
Shards radiant,
Reflecting, refracting
A beautiful inner light.
Congratulations.
You found the meaning of life.

#vsspoem prompt for September 30th, 2024: Congratulations

An Ancient Lie

An ancient lie,
Unquestioned,
Paraded in plain sight —
We
Don't need
To be led.




#vsspoem prompt for September 29th, 2024: Parade

Days Blending

Days blending with the gray,
Enthusiasm waning —
Waving trees can't compensate
My chronic lack of sun,
Nor for the cold September rain.

#vsspoem prompt for September 28th, 2024: Enthusiasm

Sweet Goodbyes

Homecomings and sweet goodbyes,
In absence we become ourselves —
Welcome back, you have changed.
But then again, so have I.




#vsspoem prompt for September 27th, 2024: Homecoming

Gilded Dreams

Long for warmth,
Reach for cold —
Gilded dreams
Until we're old.

#vsspoem prompt for September 26th, 2024: Gilded

Ikea Sentiments

Ikea sentiments,
Assembled with prepackaged
Nuts and bolts —
Take a stock opinion
That still feels like it's
Your own.

#vsspoem prompt for September 25th, 2024: Assemble

Selfish Will

Hearts tread on
Like a shell path —
Crunch on,
Sensitivity be damned.
Where there is a selfish will,
There is always a way.




#vsspoem prompt for September 24th, 2024: Crunch

Powderkeg

Primal fears
And existential love,
The flame
And the powderkeg —
Hold me close
And light our world.

#vsspoem prompt for September 23rd, 2024: Powderkeg

Pull

Pull a thread
And watch it
Fall apart.




#vsspoem prompt for September 22nd, 2024: Apart

The Emptiness Within

Impatient
In absence,
In anticipation —
Involuntary knots
At the bottom of
The emptiness within.




#vsspoem prompt for September 21st, 2024: Absence

Caught In A Haze

Caught in a haze,
Gray moods
On a sunny day —
How does one fill
Emptiness?

#vsspoem prompt for September 20th, 2024: Haze

Movers, Shakers

Movers, shakers,
Trigger fingers,
Bought the world
To take it with them —
Risen to the top
To self-destruct.




#vsspoem prompt for September 19th, 2024: Self-destruct

The Outlines

Patiently waiting —
Mind spinning,
Heart racing —
For normalcy to return
To the outlines
Of you and me.




#vsspoem prompt for September 18th, 2024: Outlines

The Safest Place

Come back in,
The safest place —
I'll dry my eyes
And hold you
While we wait
For my storm
To subside.




#vsspoem prompt for September 17th, 2024: Eyes
