Day 117-Yet

Yet we have to talk long in to the night
Yet are we like pictures frozen in time
Yet do childish hearts grow older
Yet do things seem easier
Yet do we believe we make them harder
Yet does one dare think that makes them stronger
Yet do stars collide
Yet have I to die
Yet up until the present we know
We will survive Yet

Day 116-A Seed Was Unknowingly Planted In My Garden Once Upon A Time

Started with an assigment
Just a thing
Just some words
Just to get a grade
Mostly silly
With no point
At that point
I did not know
That this would become a thing
A tool
A way
To let my feelings
Thoughts
Beliefes
Flow free
My poetry

Day 115-The Probablity Of Failure When Taking Chances Is Slim Says The Optimist In Me

Feels like change
The kind one could get used to
Cling to
Feel safe around
In a world full of change
The type that scares you
Senseless
To fear any of it
Because
The chances
33.3% things will get better
33.3% things won't change
33.3% thing will get worse
Are nothing to be scared of
Not at all

Day 114-Before The Start

It is a fear
To dissapoint others
I've made up my mind
But to break the news
Is taking more time
Than it should
I don't want anger
Nor do I accept vengence
But sometimes it is just
Really hard
To say these things
That need to be said
Sooner
Or
Later

Day 113-Cookies Anyone

A life long
Told me
Do what you must
To just be happy
A simple mix
Of need
Of want
Of content
Of acceptance
Of warmth
In the heart
From the mind
Sometimes it is
It always is
Okay
To just do
What you feel
Is fine

Day 111-Just Standing Here

We stand before the ritual taking
It believes it has the rights
To our souls

We stand before the past
Present
As they nearly force us
To relive them through

We stand before the eyes
While each pair
Sits and waits
And sits and stares
And sits and judges

We stand before the future
Unknowing and innocent
Not much caring about the time
That was spent
Leaves one thinking a lot less

About

Where we stand today

Day 110-Just For Today

The sun shine
Through the panes
Windows glittering
With the promise
For today
I didn't win the lottery
But you saw no dissapoinment
In my blue eyes
I was just ready
For today
I can by another
Cart of groceries
More than anyone "needs"
Certainly more for
Just you and me
For today
The moon
Glitters on the lake
Not much at stake
But my heart
Waiting for the take
For today
This is the first day
Of my life

Day 109-Vloggitys

Sitting in front of the camera
Or bringing it with
Typically not sponsered
By your big time network
Showings are not scheduled
Dialouge is not scripted
Although there may be just
A few notes involved
Some fall a bit short
Then the next day
Run seemingly long
Guess the unpredictable subject
By the heading right above
Only kind of sums up
The video blog
Rolled up in to one term
Vlog

Day 108-I've Grown Attached To My Second Set Of Feet

Dingy laces
Faded canvas
Comes with every rare wash
And every adventure grand
That small hole in the side
Could possibly let in sand
Soles barely grip
A little water
Could mean a tiny slip
Soaks up rain from the bottom
Up in to my socks
Well worn shoes
Aged with frequent wear
Trade them in for a new pair
I almost would not dare

Day 107-If I Randomly Die,I Hope I Die Here

The aroma of coffee
It drifts through the air
Inviting me in
The door is painted a dark green
The kind that is chipped from age
As well as for charm and effect
People inside sit by the windows
Reading their books,papers
Some write
Other just watch the passers by
The menus are handwritten
On real chalkboard choices await
Just above the counter where the register lay
It may be late at night
Slash
Early in the morn
But with company such as this
You can't help but feel warm
In this little coffee shop
I oh so adore

Day 106-Sometimes I Feel Kids Are Really Way Wise Beyond The Years

I could be a bird
Watch me fly
Almost float
Across the sky
Almost touching it
Oh so high

I could be a fish
In the ocean
See me swim
To and from
From and to
In the deep ocean blue

I could be a lion
Watch me stalk
Amongst the tall grass
Waiting for a motion
Searching for signal
Below the hot African sun

I could be anything
According to the small child
I used to be

Day 105-Time Prove Me Right

There was a time
A moment in it
I felt like the world was out to get me
No possible way for me to win it
Over
Problems I leapt
Over others I wept
Not one understanding tear
From them all
Confused
And almost relieved
As I finally realize I am
And begin to just
Move on

Day 104-Sometimes I Don't Have My Reasons

I smile
Randomly
I smile
I get questioned
For my reason
No there is nothing on your face
No you did you say anything
No I am not just now getting the punchline
No I did not just think of something that happened that one time
Sometimes
More often than not
I just
Smile

Day 103-Life Is Like A Giant Reality Show With More Substance And Better Characters

I come to wonder
Why people
Are so interested
In other people

Are we not interesting
Enough
Just by ourselves?

We take the good
The bad
The insane
The surreal
All of it

We study
We view
We critique
We want to be
These people

Just other people

Just like us

Day 102-Worth It?

So much is being taken
Out of me
Inside
My bones moan
My muscles ache
Outside
Skin looks dry
Eyes look tired
And in some world
They would say
It is all
"Just another dollar earned"

Day 101-These Beautiful Messes

Messed up pages
Full of bad grammar
Scratched out words
And randomly inserted
Missing letters
Read between the lines
What a beautiful mess

Paint on the carpet
On my skin
In my hair
Ugly smudges everywhere
Look at the canvas
What a beautiful mess

Equipment sitting around
Cameras and empty film canisters
Litter the ground
Scary eyes on a negative roll
Bring it out of the dark
What a beautiful mess

Messy hair
Awkward stance
Tiny hole in my pants
Sometimes mix up my sentences
Look at me
What a beautiful mess

Day 100-Did You Celebrate Something Today?

Milestones
They happen all the time
But they are still a big thing
Not cliche
Nor overdone

Milestones
Usually pertain to numbers
The larger the better

Milestones
Some people make up their own
It doesn't hurt
Make you feel better
Accomplished

Milestones
Made for
Everyone

Day 99-I Love The Smell Of Fresh Ink

A bit of random chatter
I hear the bell on the door ring
Music plays in the back ground
I find it is my favorite artist that sings
I'm called in to the room
Asked to take a seat
I sit and tap my fingers
And my nervous feet
I get in to the zone
The happy one I know
I hear a buzz
It is just a test
The artist ask me if I'm ready
What's next is a prick
I kind of burns
But not just enough to make tears churn
My eyes drift south
I want to see what's going down
I am kind of entranced
The pain
I can handle this
Some time floats by
And I take a deep sigh
And look at the guy
The deed is done
I must say
Getting my first tattoo
Was great fun

Day 98-Takes The Trail Marked Off The Map

The grass lining the path
Is soft and green
No stickers
So I can walk with
Bare feet

The trees shading the path
Are tall and great
Covering me with wisdom
Only growing more beautiful
With age

The flowers along the path
Are lovely
Simple in make
Sweet in smell
The perfect natural perfume
To be held

The dirt that makes the path
Is damp
But not rocky
Close to being sand
The perfect example of
Land

The girl that walks the path
Knows what was left behind
Knows not what is to come
She can only claim to be
Human

Day 97-I Know Who Made Me

Hair
Nails
Legs
Arms
Skin
Eyes
Hands
Feet
Nose
Lips
Toes
Fingers
Stomach
Basic parts
Gathered
And tweaked
Put together
With unique attention
Designed
Especially for
Me
By someone
The The One
The Only
He
