2019 —>2020

it all stopped

we weren’t going to make it

it was over

i would have to say goodbye

i cried a lot

she held me

it’s really my fault

i should have done better

it’s my fault we had to end it

well i said goodbye

i still talk but just to talk

you don’t

i think i’m annoying you

i still love you

i will never stop

but really i feel hurt so this year will be the real goodbye

you will really have to leave

What a year.

This year started off great,

Spending most of it with my mate.

Getting the results I need,

And doing many good deeds.

Going through some rough patches though,

Making the year go so slow.

Holidays were a blast,

It’s a shame they never last.

The parties went on and on,

This year went on so long.

Getting ready for the new year,

Let’s all say cheers! ...

2020 new year

2019 what a year it has been,

All the laughing,

All the tears,

End this year with a bang of fireworks.


2020 is around the corner,

Time to celebrate,

Time to cheer,

For now it is nearly a new year. ...

One year

2019 started shitty

Lost Grandmother

Lost week worth of pay

Hours cut

Morgan diagnosed with cancer

Morgan loses one of her front legs

I did renew my love of the ocean

Cannot return to the mountains

Riley doing well with diabetes

Lost Morgan due to the cancer (2003-2019)

Work drags, little changes.

Same old, day in, day out.

2019 can die in a fire

2020 will be better

Election year?

*hides in cave*...

New Year’s Resolutions

I planned to read a book or two,

Go to the gym and clean my room,

Work on my art and play kazoo,

Smell the flower’s sweet perfume,

I had resolved then to reflect,

On my life and e’vry act,

And find some newfound self-respect,

— As a matter of fact,

I mapped out to travel more,

Trek down every trail and track,

And open all mine loc’ked doors,

Never fooling to look back.

Yet now I paused to take a p...

2019

Just when the cloudy sky was clearing

And the flowers were blooming.

Grandma flew away to her open gates of heaven.


Then.


Summer sizzled, people I knew went on vacation.

I knew nothing but my routine for hospital visits.

I grew angry and angrier at all the doctors who repeatedly voiced,

“He won’t make it. There’s nothing else to do.”


On Oct 1st the leaves were already fallin’

The sky was grey...

Loss or blessing

A loss of a friend is considered to be a loss when it has a negative affect on your life. When your life only got better since you cut any connection to that person it's considered a blessing. Going into 2020 I have one less friend. Someone i considered a friend. I thought it was a loss but it turned out not to be one. So it's a blessing according to my defition of loss. A blessing I wasn't thankf...

2019.

2019, you weren’t kind to me.

For every

Every good thing

It felt like you

Gave me

Two bad things

In return.


Why is it

That you

Tease me with life and

Art and rhythm and then

Suck the joy

Out of my life

Like a mosquito?


Why is it that you

Reward

Other people

For my misery?

I am in a fishbowl,

Russian roulette

With the odds stacked against me.


So I’m glad

To be leaving you behind;

A steppi...

Self Evaluation

The past year has really handed my ass to me. I started the year wanting a kiss from a boy I had no real feelings for and I don’t understand why. It’s not like we were a match made from the heavens or anything, we hooked up one time and never talked about it. I did hope I could know what he was thinking considering he started and managed the entire thing. But maybe that is what my problem is, I al...

When in Rome...

“Hey dude this isn’t a toga party!” shouts a man from across the crowded room. All the partygoers erupt into raucous laughter. Cornelius is embarrassed and lost.


Everyone is wearing strange, colourful clothes that look uncomfortably tight. And the lamps in this chamber appear to have no flames. He knows he’s had a pitcher of wine to drink; perhaps his friends added a strange herb to it and are h...
