Run?

Running ragged, breathing fast
One, two, three, four…
Foot falls quicken, heart rate stutters
You can’t afford to hit the floor

Run the race, don’t falter now
Seconds, hours, weeks, years…
No time for slow…time is money
Don’t look now,...

Struggling to survive

In shadows deep, where sorrows reside,
Struggling to survive, in the ebb of life's tide.
Whispers of despair, a heavy burden to bear,
Yearning for respite, a soul laid bare.
Darkness beckons, a tempting embrace,
In the depths of anguish, a...

Perfect Lies

Perfection is a lie and curse
We struggle with images we’ve cast
Only to live and die and die as we live.
I find myself asking a question.
Do we truly live as we strive for this lie?
Or, are we just biding time? Tick. Tock.

Humanity is...

Music box

Aging dreams, a reverie
Drifting through this sleepless mind
A melody sweetly sings
On repeat but winding down

Life is like a music box
Growing through the wind
Feel the tension, the apprehension
In forming life’s dance and melody

How...

Golden Splendor

Gold is considered to be so precious
Because it is rare and hard to find.
It’s beauty is the stuff of legend,
A gift of splendor and glorious shine.

How appropriate that gold is the symbol
For 50 years of marriage and love.
The years that...

The Trojan Horse

Egos
not armies
destroy the Crown

Arrogance

The Emperor

Mental Health Captive

My own mind
Envelops me with lies
Never ending intrusive thoughts and
Traumatic memories
Always linger to remind
Life takes no prisoners

Hungrily searching for
Eternal escape
Anxiety peaks behind
Locked doors and poor treatment

Echoes of Friendship

Mayor of Lake Jackson's heart,
Your legacy forever etched in time,
A servant to community and love,
Your spirit, an enduring chime.

As you embark on this new journey,
Into the embrace of distant lands,
Know that your presence will be...

Nobody

Nobody wants to listen
Nobody has a clue
Nobody knows what they want
Nobody... Not even you

Nobody knows how to get by
Nobody has spare time to give
Nobody stays together for long
Nobody really forgives

Nobody really knows anybody

Stuck in reverse

Slow down, Kelley

That's what they keep telling me

But I can't go any slower

I'm feeling like a failure and am trapped

In words I can't decipher

Cryptic messages that mean nothing to anyone

I want to get lost and drown in the...
