Invincible

Posted on by

“A lot of us think we’re invincible… but we have to start putting ourselves on the to-do list” Giuliana Rancic

Invincible

The name suggested
A battle maiden invested
Always the strong one
Getting everything done
Relying on strength
Taking great lengths
Never cheating
Always completing

Out of the blue
Without a clue
When least expected
The unthinkable was inflicted
The temple of strength failed
And came tumbling down
Feeling jailed
Oh treacherous one

Completely helpless
Not the fearless
Never been so afraid
Beginning to fade
Sometimes going insane
From all that pain

Going through stages
In quite the rages
Denial, anger, bargain, depression
With each session
Looking for that quick fix
Throwing in the mix
Ideas of the radical
Forgoing the medical
With a scoff
Thinking on just walking it off

Final stage at hand
Taking the stand
Waving the white flag
No more snags
Feeling revived
Acceptance had arrived

What Ever!

Posted on by

“Screw you guys, I’m going home!” Eric Cartman

What Ever!

You were smiling
Feeling charming
And quite beguiling
The sun was shining
This was supposed to be
A great day
For a song or a play

But then it turned out to be
Something else completely
It turned out to be
One of *those days*
Struck you in the face
Run over like a ten ton truck
And disappear without a trace

What the fuck?
Feeling like a schmuck
Completely out of luck
Standing in the rain
Without an umbrella
Almost going insane
And not from singing a cappella

So I say “What ever!”
And take my leave

It’s only complicated if you are stupid

Posted on by

“The most complicated skill is to be simple” Dejan Stojanovic

unnamed

It’s only complicated if you are stupid

“It’s complicated”
Don’t you just hate it
The comment that pops up
Like excuses, filling the cup

But it’s not, really, is it?
It’s just a made up quip
It is actually very simple
Super sweet, short and simple

Think smart and on the dot
Lying down or on your feet
Something made up on the spot
Or even profoundly deep

If it’s not rocket science
The appliance
Is usually elementary
And easily supplementary

So lay down the stupid
Forget the complicated
Unless you want a pimple
Because life really is very simple
When you get right down to it

I Laugh, There For I Am

Posted on by

“Laughter is the best revenge for anger” Dalai Lama

I Laugh, There For I Am

Call me crazy
Call me a fool
Or just a simple tool
Laughing, grinning
Face in full leering
Feelings of winning
Life gave you lemons
Or battling with demons
Trying not to worry
Or even feel sorry
For things that cannot change
Rather arrange
Time for a full belly laugh
Several times a day
It isn’t daft
Keeps your mind clear
Throughout the year
When you wake up
Forget the wile
Put on that smile
It is the best make up
Everyone can wear
Which will not tear
Come rain or shine
All will be fine

Don’t Be A Bitter Bitch!

Posted on by

“I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it’s meant to come” Martha Plimpton

Don’t Be A Bitter Bitch!

So,
Things did not go your way
You were forced to walk away
Blaming life is never fair
Throwing your hands in the air
Ready for total surrender
Becoming quite the bitter
And complete quitter

Rather than
Trying again
Becoming a mender
The offender
Learning from
What went wrong
Becoming strong

Just,
Put a smile on that face
Tomorrow embrace
New and better opportunities
In other communities
You will discover that purpose
For another goal to chase
And find your best place

And then,
Just make them eat it Honey!

Life is a Boxing Match

Posted on by

“Boxing is real easy. Life is much harder” Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Boxing Match

The gloves are on
The arena awaits you
From the illusion of winning
Your head is spinning
The chanting getting louder
You’re feeling prouder

The plan was a clean fight
No hitting below the belt
The deal fitting your own self
No more time for flight
The crowd is cheering
You are leering

At the ding of the gong
The fight is on
Dancing around
Pulling punches
No one going down
The referee announces

No one is winning

It is time
To up the ante

The gloves come off
The game now on
You start to scoff
Your mind’s set only on the con
Spitting out words of slander
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander

Hair being torn
Nails like thorns
Feeling the scorn
Scratching, screaming
Ending only in
Real blood and tearing

No one is winning

It is time
For plan C

I Thought My Life Would Include More Impromptu Sing-a-longs

Posted on by

“I cannot sing, dance or act. That’s never stopped me from doing any of those things”

I Thought My Life Would Include More Impromptu Sing-a-longs

Call me crazy
Or a little hazy
Mostly amazing
And feeling like a daisy

Bursting into song
With the bang of a gong

In the middle of the street
Quick on my feet
On a rush hour bus
Without any fuss

Laughing, prancing
Singing, dancing

A dull working day
Blowing my mind away
Standing in the checkout line
Feeling absolutely fine

Laughing, prancing
Singing, dancing

Call the white coats
And have me committed?
Wouldn’t you rather
join me and admit it
A sing-a-long
Was just the thing
You needed
All along

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream

The Blame Game

Posted on by

“Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise” Sigmund Freud

The Blame Game

When you are a lying
On that sofa
Crying
Into a coma
Blaming everyone else
Except yourself

Your mother, your father
Even the family pet rather
Than copping-out
It was your self doubt
Accomplishments gone array
Just because of a high
To have and eat the cake
Soon turned out a fake

Excuses made
For each mistake
“It was not my quirk”
“The dog ate the homework”
“The weather was bad”
“The others made me feel sad”

Stop the blame game
Leave the shame
Look in the mirror
The picture getting clearer
Listen to the gong
Playing the same song
It was you
All along

Highway to Hell

Posted on by

“If you’re going through hell, keep going” Winston Churchill

Highway to Hell

You are on
The fast track
The last track
On a highway
To hell

Intensive pressure
Needing a refresher
Competitive pursuit
Of fame and fortune
Dancing to someone else’s flute
May end up a misfortune
If not stopping
Until you drop

The smart life
The simple life
The only life
You should choose
Before your goose
Is cooked
And you will loose
And get hooked

If There is a Wrong Place and a Wrong Time, I’ll be There

Posted on by

“Not fitting in just means you’re in the wrong place”

If There is a Wrong Place and a Wrong Time, I’ll be There

A sale of shoes
Small sizes only
feeling bold
Into the men’s section
I wandered
No time to loose
A nice pair of boots
Fitting like a glove
I am in love
A passer by
Asks me to pose
For a picture
To be a feature
In the paper

In my raggedy jeans
Crashing a party
Of the cocktail kind
A piece of a pie
Instructing all to jive
I was an
Overnight sensation
Even without
The proper presentation
Dancing the night away
With a hip and a sway

In my way to a show
My face in a glow
Hoping premium seats to score
Then a let down
All sold out
Feeling like clown
My face in a frown
Life is a bore

Sitting in the entry way
Sobbing
‘Hey lady’ I hear
Can you sing?
In my mind a ding
My heart is throbbing
Without remorse
I join the chorus
Singing my heart out
Without a doubt
The best night
Of my entire life
Despite the lack
Of several facts
I can’t dance, act or even sing
