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
