Poem - Moments

-

Every day is full of moments fleeting.
How will I know I've found the right one.
Only the times when my heart is beating.
Looking to exist when the day has begun.

We live in them as a rule of thumb.
Or we get lost in times gone by.
Each moment is what our lives become.
The present is so difficult to quantify.

Are we living in the moment?
Always though we had been.
Time is our endless opponent.
The past and the future?
We're stuck in between.

Poem - It's Only You

I was once told there is a devil who makes you feel bold And an angel perched on your shoulder As I grew older, I leaned towards the devil Never tried to wrestle with his opinion As my mind was just his dominion The angel became quiet and reserved Scared to speak up and preserve my mental state One day it dawned on me, a new theory This angel and devil only emulate I realized the only man speaking to me Was just my worst part I’d cut out the kindness and the heart I now realize the man on my back Only knew how to criticize All he could do was attack Because that’s what I told him I’m useless, stupid, unattractive Nobody should give me a chance I’m not proactive nor active You can tell at first glance I’m a mess I said I can’t do anything He listened, took it all on board Like training a parrot I went overboard with rude phrases If I’d have thrown in some praises too It could have been different The man in the mirror now that’s not you It is someone who can never love you Old habits are...

Poem - Optimistic?

-
Yeah, I’m an optimist but there was something I missed; It can be so easily dismissed, what a bloody twist! Yeah, I’m optimistic that it’s all going downhill, but maybe we can take a minute and chill? I try to see people as holistic but that's just simplistic and optimistic. Now look, I’m sorry that maybe I made you worry my mind is clouded; my optimism is shrouded. Consider for a minute taking a breath and a pause. Optimism is great unless of course it's fake and comes with a clause. I’m not optimistic for myself, it's altruistic. Some people live in the dark. Come on, friends, have a heart. Yeah, I’m optimistic. It might be uncharacteristic and artificial. But as long as it remains beneficial then yeah, I’m optimistic.
