Month: May 2018

For the most part we’re done
But what was the cost
For us to have won?

While others want to frequent bars
The end is so close it twinkles like a star

It’s midweek and all we seek
Is more motivation to keep going

Roughly a third of the way
We may slow down and maybe delayed
Focused on the end we must be

First steps on the weary path
We must get up and move from
Where we were at

This is the day to begin
From loss to hopefully a win

I turned up
The volume
So I could hear
Myself think
But what I
Finally heard
Made the
Heart sink
Now it’s
My time
To shut up
And be
Quiet

Because of bad footwear choices
When I was younger
My left big toe curves inward
A little bit too much

I know there’s surgery for that
And I’m not adverse to
Correcting what can be
I’ve straightened my teeth
And had laser surgery to fix my vision

But whenever I look down
At that deviant big toe
Ever so slightly unsightly
I can’t make the decision
To fix it too

It just reminds me of
My mother too much

Work took
You away
From me

They get to
Play with you–
Why can’t I?
