Optimism 

Standard

optimism once came freely

able to know that

there would be something 

not more worse

than this moment 

however presently

these have become 

crept into our daily lives

shedding off these

layers of issues 

leeches among us

our emotions find

something to

look forward to

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Doubts

Standard

it’s only a matter of when

taken completely 

for choices dissolved

long ago

dupped on purpose 

will always 

be combined 

with endearments 

a fish in a sea of hooks 

plays asteroids 

always doubting

intentions for

we both knew

success was

a dream

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Piracy

Standard

privacy some

would equate 

to piracy 

for when details 

based on trust

were really taken

from you

when repeated

there is no mystery 

suspense of what

will happen

for the whole

of the person

was taken away

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Couples

Standard

spouses, wives

significant others

replaced by imagination 

couldn’t change

realities of the day 

that respect shown

for one part

is extended to you

and your love

commitment made

with husbands

has always been

understood entirely 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Humbled

Standard

can’t change

what we

have been through

knowing who

remains strong inside 

a person who

never forgot 

how much

you allowed

me into your lives

really incomprehensible 

however completely 

forever humbled

by the gesture 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Important 

Standard

every possible thought

each synapses within me

has been traveled

and tested to the 

extreme and levels

never desired 

are evaporated 

rolled into oblivion 

making concepts

all views of reality

deplete the inner

sanctity of security 

of things learned 

when younger

and throughout 

adulthood to elderly 

remembering all

moralities and ethical

values with lessons

that there is

only one thing

important in

our world

every living being

or thing on it

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Curious

Standard

curiosity is curious

for some only about 

dig so deep

needing only part

of what is needed

to continue momentarily 

there are those who don’t ask

for they go with the status quo

rarely an individual 

may go down a road

of secluded knowledge 

others go on tangents

dead ends really

while a few people 

ask just the right questions 

-Jennie Nawrocki 

Dreams To Forget

Standard

an anomaly

i have

turned into

living in a world

where it is

difficult to

know which

came first

as information

circulates often

creative thoughts

curiously spring

my role within

trying to

stop the pain

of losing

friends, families

population of the world

has many regrets

along with

several apologies

for as many

emotional blocks

i put up

are quickly

torn down

everything that

contained many

happy memories

to rely upon

layered over

taunts given

trap me

in between

for both worlds

hate me

where to go

what to do

-Jennie Nawrocki
