Empty

My wrists itch, ache and throb

With life unwanted

Dual red lines form

Constant reminders

Of my failure

Taunting me day

After dreadful day

Nothing better to do?

Never trust a man who spends his free time cleaning his spotless car.

Fix This Person!

People act like having a death wish is like having a disease that needs to be cured. But what if life is the disease? Aren't we the illness, the virus, destroying this beautiful planet?

The Perfect Employee

I will be an asset

To your company,

I say

I will take orders

Without question,

I pledge

Suddenly

I am a good team player

Yes, sure,

I will greet your customers

With a smile

Yet still I am doubtful

So I throw in ‘pro-active’ as well

Marathon Runner

I am a marathon runner

Though not by choice

The run seems endless

And the route is not set

The finish line is far

Seemingly out of reach

Most faces are blank

And the spectators turn away

Keep Going

Don’t stop

To think

To reflect

To rest

There’s no time

To feel like shit

To feel tired

To feel sorry for yourself

Burden

Push, push

Go stand at arm’s length

Keep too close

And you might

Hear my thoughts

Push, push

Don’t you ask questions

Know my feelings

And you might

Sense my plans
