Sliding Scales

Out of bounds
Within expectations,
Sliding scales of
Acceptable deviation —
Outliers became
The new normal, somehow.




#vsspoem prompt for November 2nd, 2024: Outlier

Clashing Fates

Clashing fates,
To hate and be hated,
To hurt and be hurt,
To lose and get lost —
Costs be damned,
We’ll see this through
Our way.
Righteous or not.




#vsspoem prompt for November 1st, 2024: Righteous

Into The Silence

Scream into the silence,
That the pain we drag behind us,
The hardship that defined us,
May never rise again.




#vsspoem prompt for October 31st, 2024: Hardship

Due Diligence

Due diligence
Neglected —
Opinions, perspectives,
Cemented
In the absence of facts.

#vsspoem prompt for October 30th, 2024: Diligence

All We Share

Diversity,
Our segregation,
Placing weight
On all we're not —
Celebrate all we share,
Not what sets us apart.




#vsspoem prompt for October 29th, 2024: Segregation

The Mortal Maze

Consciousness, a fantasy
Projected on the haze —
Illusions sent to navigate,
Aided to abide our days
Traveling
The mortal maze.



#vsspoem prompt for October 28th, 2024: Haze

All Ducks Aligned

All ducks aligned,
All stories straight —
All of it mine,
None of it fate.




#vsspoem prompt for October 27th, 2024: Align

Bleakest Truths

Willful sink
The bleakest truths
To depths ignored,
But not forgotten.




#vsspoem prompt for October 26th, 2024: Willful

Close Enough

Tomorrow, close enough
To make us believe
That we can plan as far
As we think we can see.




#vsspoem prompt for October 25th, 2024: Tomorrow

Soul Music

Gimme heart,
Soul music,
Life's rhythm
Hiding from the algorithm,
Out of spotlight
On the B-side of Spotify —
Tunes that make even
Time itself stop and listen
For a minute or
Two, three, four,
Before dancing us by.




#vsspoem prompt for October 24th, 2024: Algorithm

Just Look Up

Once upon a time
We’d thought it
Signs heralding
The end times —
A comet,
A second moon,
Global northern lights.
Now,
We just look up,
And smile each night.




#vsspoem prompt for October 23rd, 2024: Global

Merely Cracked

Arrogant and ignorant
Reaching for the light,
We merely cracked the clouds
Trying to break the sky.




#vsspoem prompt for October 22nd, 2024: Merely

What Lies Ahead

Uncharted,
Spores sprouting
Into the unfamiliar —
The past a map
Obsolete
For what lies ahead.




#vsspoem prompt for October 21st, 2024: Obsolete

Outlier

A character, an outlier,
A truth too far removed
From comfortable —
Call it what you will,
The problem
Isn't me.




#vsspoem prompt for October 20th, 2024: Outlier

Pillar Of Uncertainty

Doubt, the entropy,
Our pillar of uncertainty,
Always there to remind us —
Nothing ever stays the same.




#vsspoem prompt for October 19th, 2024: Entropy

The Things We Lost

Altars to
The things we lost,
The things we hate,
The things we fear —
Our thoughts, a testament
To the weight
We’ve learned to bear.




#vsspoem prompt for October 18th, 2024: Testament

Still Here

Still here,
Not because I
Chose to stay —
I am the one
That never got away.




#vsspoem prompt for October 17th, 2024: Stay

Hardly Anything

Learning everything
I found out
Hardly anything is
Worth the paper
The lesson’s written on.
Pride and arrogance,
We follow
Self-centered men and women,
Desperate to make their mark
Before they move on.

#vsspoem prompt for October 16th, 2024: Hardly

The End Among Us

Ignorant,
Laughing, playing,
Dancing with
The end among us,
Weaving lives
In knots and ties,
Round and round the start.




#vsspoem prompt for October 15th, 2024: Ignorant

Upon Waking

To find myself again,
In what's suppressed
And what's forgotten,
What got left behind
And flattened
Under a lifetime of desire
In the little things that haunt me,
In the dreams that slip away
Upon waking
Into who I've never been.




#vsspoem prompt for October 14th, 2024: Haunt
