If you got this far and never learned to think
it might be the fault of someone else
but if you now realize it
and do nothing to change
you can only blame yourself.
We should be so far beyond shelf sitting today.
To say that timid dreaming is a zero sum game is an understatement
but the wonder makes it worth the pain to forsake it.
The current state is something you must shed for steeper climbs.
It is not the world,
and all it's faults,
that hold you back
but the shackles formed within the world you interpret in your mind.
Say "this situation is fine and best to expect for one as I."
We use one hand to cover our eyes while the other,
dark,
searches for a tool to blind.
But all I can find is a field of minds.
Not unlike the glass all things display behind.
It is only a matter of opening your thought upon the contents
and they spill forth as if waiting for the release of curiosity to loose them free.
Welcome
Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)
