Ex-uberant

A gruntled former ride-share driver.

#poetry #emoetry #exuberant

it's easy to feel #exuberant when things merrily go your way
but what if hardship strikes disrupting a happy go lucky day
do we huff & puff attempting to blow the house down
do we sit it the corner frozen with a fixed stern frown
that choice mainly depends on you #emoetry #poetry #WritingCommunity

It was clearly dark,
but don't bore me with #stormy—
it was a light rain.

I tried to conceal my Heartbreak
Angry when my Hidden teardrops were revealed
Fearful that once the mask of strength was Discarded, I would be rejected once more

In junior high
and high school
I was excluded
and #discarded
but regardless
I didn’t turn into
a monster that
was heartless
still managed to
be empathetic
a flawed human
being but I must
give myself some
credit I will forgive
but I can’t force
my brain to forget it

Discarded

i tried it once

took a chance
asked her out
the kind one
the one i thought
must be the one

she said no
kindly

and it affected me so

i tried it again
and again
and once more
with the same result

because something resonated

in being worth the question

#emoetry

The South China seas
were, to say the least, #stormy,
which made for stiff tales.

No one is perfect
there is no escaping
being #blemished
by one flaw or another
looking for the impossible
failed before you start
how about you work
on improving yourself
before pointing the finger
and accusing others?

The fields were black,
we had burnt them all,
discarded stormy
eyes
for beige nostalgia;

The air was sour,
sugar had been tapped,
drank in gulping
yawns
then awoken;

The room was empty,
life was long gone,
loved too hard then
left to donation

Hopes #crushed
in one fell swoop
you watch as the sand
slips through your fingers
and disappear into the wind
suddenly the warmth
no longer there
and a cold chill settles
deep into your bones

#emoetry #writing #writingcommunity #poetry

The gambler
sits at the table:

a pile of #discarded
hopes and dreams
next to a shrinking
amount of funds
to bet with

and a growing concern
of debts and obligations

#emoetry #writing #writingcommunity #poetry

Discarded the self
Upon unknown stormy shores
Now I am unmoored
