Eggs 

Standard

I hate eggs and personally it is the only time I don’t feel even a tinge of regret using the word hate.  For one the I am not hurting anyone by saying it including the designer of the egg, being the chicken and the rooster.  I say that because they are most likely ecstatic that I would prefer not to eat their future offspring. So be careful when using the word hate, it hurts.

Future

Standard

I have dreamed

Of a future 

For I lost my way

At least some

People think

However inside

What is left

When all else

Is full of obstacles 

Knowing the truth

Is my one solice

And if that is

All I have

Then love

Should come

And give comfort

Will You?

Standard

Will you discover

The future 

You want

Filled with

Dreams thought

Unattainable?

Will you sleep

In calm

Knowing tomorrow 

Might bring excitement?

Will you breathe 

Easy in air

You sustained

Free of nasties?

Will you 

Give effort 

Even though

It might not matter?

Will you be

The one to make

Someone else’s

World blissful?

One Opinion Of Respect

Standard

Very complicated

On how 

Things got so convoluted

Into the craziness

Experienced by

Everyone participating

But yet

Not given the same respect

Respect is earned

Though some people

Think it is a given

Regardless of how

They treated you

Behind your back

Or even right

In front of you

You want me to like you

Treat the janitor 

And the president the same.

What happened?

Standard

Side by side

They have been 

With different goals

All along

One wanted friends 

The other wanted

Lifetime followers

Both were religious 

To the spiritual

Entity they believed

Women’s and minority’s Rights

Everybody’s necessity

Both wanted recognition 

For their accomplishments

To make the world

Safer, streamlined 

And loving

Only one

Was successful 

Though the goals

Didn’t seem

That much different

Relationship Goals

Standard

I have been watching old seasons of shows recently and they have me thinking.  I know some say bad others say good your choice to decide.

On one episode I saw this person go out of their way to get to know someone to be their friend. All I could think why couldn’t more people do that.  Then I saw the other side of the story where someone continues to say anything you want, have you on their good side until they just dump you. In the past 11 years I have mostly encountered the later.  So much so when meeting anyone new I ask, Where’s the poop? And have received it so many ways, it is really ingenious how it comes about on a daily basis. Now I don’t ask where’s the poop because I know it is coming.  I simply ask are you really going to be nice to me longer than a moon cycle or a commet?  Be a friend.

Too much?

Standard

Is it way too much

To give or spread love?

But how can that be

To feel loved 

Only empowers people 

Gives confidence 

And security 

That is never achieved 

Unless that hug

That smile

That compliment 

Is received wholly.

A Way

Standard

I get frustrated, sad, angry and depressed.  I have to its my job.  In the words of Queen ‘Under Pressure’  that is my life.  I would ask for peace and I was given grief.  I would say here and they would say there.  I took all the options I had and slowly they were taken from me.  People say why don’t you do anything about your life? Well if something did go right soon it was taken away.  I have been continually told “no” so I started shouting “no” in response and if I protest then, I am told I have a bad attitude.  I lost everything family, friends, career, thoughts and ability to live freely.  Shouting yes was inappropriate but when you have been slapped in the face after being told you can’t have anymore trauma to the eye, refused proper medical care and all I did was shout “no” I think under the circumstances I composed myself well. There is a way to protest, a way to argue with keeping the dignity and respect of all involved.  Find it. Live it. Breathe it.
