As it's ever been

All remains
As it's ever been —
Only the labels changed.

#vsspoem prompt for June 5th, 2020: Ever

Pillow

Come closer —
Let me be
Your pillow.

It's a game

Do not be misled.
There are
Rules.
Winners.
Losers —
It's a game.

#vsspoem prompt for June 7th, 2020: Misled

Without reprieve

Although life is a
Predictable hell
Without reprieve,
It is still
The unknown
I fear most.

#vsspoem prompt for June 8th, 2020: Reprieve

Each tiny step

Claim the smallest reasons,
Celebrate each tiny step —
The next might never come
Or take forever.

#vsspoem prompt for june 9th, 2020: Celebrate

Scratch

Scratch as I may,
The itch
Remains.

#vsspoem prompt for June 10th, 2020: Scratch

Plenty

Only the naive think
That in the land of plenty
Everything is positive.

#vsspoem prompt for June 11th, 2020: Plenty

Balancing

Balancing
Atop unstable bridges,
Fearing the fall,
We raise our voices,
Drowning out the roar —
Deafening dark waters
Raging far below.

#vsspoem prompt for June 11th, 2020: Balance

Indulge

We indulge,
Fully aware the cost
In blissful moments
Of ecstacy
To numb the pain —
If only temporary.

#vsspoem prompt for June 13th, 2020: Indulge

Consume us

Coveted dreams
Unreachable
Consume us.

#vsspoem prompt for June 14th, 2020: Covet

Step away

Abuse never stops.
Only you can
Break the cycle —
Step away,
Reconcile not.

#vsspoem prompt for June 15, 2020: Cycle

Misery a choice

Misery a choice —
Share the love
Or lack thereof.

#vsspoem prompt for June 16, 2020: Choice

Echo unheard

Ancient words,
Their meaning long lost,
Echo unheard —
Mocking the message
They once served.

#vsspoem prompt for June 17th, 2020: Mock

Painted smile

Crocodile tears
Washed the painted smile
From her hollow mask —
Revealing
Nothing but disdain
Beneath.

#vsspoem prompt for June 18th, 2020: Disdain

Silent songs

Partners in a cautious dance
To silent songs —
Shames we hide
Twisting, twirling
Around the truth,
Matching steps
To fit the lie.

#vsspoem prompt for June 19th, 2020: Dance

Your apathy

Seemingly
Blind to me,
Your apathy
Makes me wonder —
Do my accomplishments
Not matter,
Or could it be
The problem
Is you?

#vsspoem prompt for June 20th, 2020: Apathy

Personal joy

How petty,
How self-centered —
Such tragedy
We bestow upon the world
In the absence
Of personal joy.

#vsspoem prompt for June 21st, 2020: Bestow

Burnt glass lenses

Seen through
Burnt glass lenses
The world appears
Darker than it is.

#vsspoem prompt for June 22nd, 2020: Lens

Intent matters

Judge
By what they
Do onto others.
Acts may be forgiven
But intent matters —
And before you do,
Know that goes
For reactions too.

#vsspoem prompt for June 23rd, 2020: Matter

You do you

Glare all you like —
I don't mind your disapproval.
You do you
But I'll be me.

#vsspoem prompt for June 24th, 2020: Approval
