Something’s Different, A Christmas Poem

Something’s different
Something’s not right

Sure it is Christmas
Yet that doesn’t seem fitting

For today feels like any time of the year
Which is why I’m quite contrite

Wait

Wait
Things get better they say

I wait
Things don’t improve

Have patients
Change takes time I’m told

I wait
Change never comes

Hold on
It hasn’t been long enough they explain

I wait
Losing motivation

Not now
Just wait a little longer I’m informed

I wait
Giving up hope

You’re young
You have plenty of time they reply

I wait
Time becomes the enemy

Here’s to the New Year

Here we are about to start another year, another start, a new beginning
Here I am not feeling any different,  all the same
Here we are longing for change, striving to make a difference
Here I stand not knowing where to start, how to begin
Here we go,  let’s embark ,  start again
Here’s to new adventures, new journeys, new lessons
Here’s to the new year.

Stop. Go. Fast. Slow.

Everything is moving too fast
Everything needs to slow down

Make it stop
Bring an end

Everything is taking forever.
Everything needs to speed up

Make it go
Time to start

Doing everything and nothing
Going so fast and so slow

Time
The one clock we can’t stop.

Life
Go out and live it.

Dear Sarcasm

Dear Sarcasm
Are you a wall that needs to be put up
Or one that needs to be knocked down

Dear Sarcasm
Are you an acceptable form of humor
Or a laceration to ones heart

Dear Sarcasm
Should I combat your urges
Or let your desires be fulfilled

Dear Sarcasm
Do you have your spot in good taste
Or should you be abolished from this place
