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.)

Difficult

I never knew where to step
Egg shells and broken glass
The mine field is out of mind at least
As if it weren't enough.
I don't know what you want from me.
You don't know what you need from yourself
A few steps in a direction of production perhaps?
Maybe a turn out of the melancholy.
Self inflicted tears can grease the quick descent into oblivion.
But who wants to be proactive?
The glances of pity are far more rewarding.
An ounce of work is just that,
Work.
No one has time for that.
Let the world be handed to me begrudgingly,
By the trick of emotional terrorism.
In the end you still have the world,
Who cares the means by which you gain it.
Respect and worth are overrated anyway.
