Where were you?
When I needed to talk.
Where were you?
When I needed to cry.
Serious Poems
The Rose Decided to Bloom Today
The day had been hot,
The sun beat down
I gave it all I got
Digging the hard ground.
Opposing Forces
Lies
Why I like Memorial Day
It’s a ritual of the living.
We set aside a time to remember.
First, those who have fallen
defending freedom.
Then the others.
Two Feet on the Ground
My grandma always said,
“I’ve got two feet on the ground,
“I can do anything anyone can do.”
She barely stood five feet
though she claimed five-two.
Chandelier by Sia
There is no reason I should connect with this song.
At first, I didn’t. I didn’t even notice it or pay attention to it when it first came out. Until one day I listened to the lyrics because I was curious. What is she singing about? I thought. Oh, she’s singing about alcohol abuse from the perspective of an alcoholic. Yeah, I can’t relate.
Promised Land
One day they woke up
hanging by a thread.
They married so young
now wondered what they did.
