I am Fine

When the walls close in, I am fine.

When the life I wanted passes me by, I am fine.

When the days burn long, and I wish for cold weather, I am fine.

When I don’t get to see my loved ones for years, I am fine.

When I look back at what could have been, I am fine.

When you say you don’t care about family as I care about family, I am fine.

When I see my life moving along and not always improving, I am fine.

When we fight over petty shit, and I think back to 20 years ago, I am fine.

When I lie to myself about it all, I am not fine.

When I acknowledge the lies and leave all my regrets behind, now I am fine.

Bitter Night

holysockpuppetbatman on deviant art – Seer, Scapulamancy

Dewdrops to some, sweat beads to others; this is her reality.

Dreams and visions of depravity, horror, and the current, past, and future human perspectives flood her mind.

Dripping and soggy in the atrocities of her fellow human beings, the seer sees what others do not want to see.

Dreaming through the bitter night, to be restored and tired in the morning; a lofty price paid to see what others cannot see

Daylight doesn’t stop the lingering images of what has or may come, yet who is a seer to change what cannot be undone?

Decurro journey through a difficult test, watching the world fall apart and remaining grateful, kind, and courageous.
