Break Free (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 1

They never said
That adulthood would be this hard
Chains, barriers, brick walls...
It seemed fun when I was young
As a kid, I anxiously waited 
For the day
The hour
The minute
Then it came...
I grew my wings
And like a butterfly I had to fly away
No warning
No preperation for this transformation
It just happened
So here I am
Learning to break free
Break free?
Is this really freedom?
Because if it is
I may want to give it back...

    So much to think about! And yes, contrary to the cliche, the grass isn't always greener ... on the other side of childhood.

      You can say that again! Adulthood has its perks but it also has some very big and scary down falls.

Uninspired (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 14

Completely uninspired Not really sure what I aspire Draw inspiration from "here" But the wheels aren't cranking or turning I stare blankly, trying to think of something clever to say Nothing comes to mind The quotes don't ignite a spark They don't hit a mark So I sit and wait for something to come to me... Waiting, waiting, waiting Nothing. Wanted to say something about a battle But it all seems overused So it looks like I got nothing Wait a minute! Hey! I just got inspired by being uninspired I guess that's it for today...

Press Stardom (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 17

Image
It's like everything we do is for everyone to see We might as well just film it and make a movie Put it in the cinemas in 2D and 3D Because we can't get a moment of peace They're like paparazzi gaping through the cracks of our home Even with the lights off we're never fully alone  So we put on our shiny smiles made out of chrome And pull out the stitches when no one's looking, that was tightly sewn Only because we're not allowed to crack We can't take that chance unless they turn their backs Why won't they all just go away, take their bags and pack? Maybe then we can continue where we left, get back on track Camera smiles and red carpet attire Come on baby, let's sell it to the highest buyer We made it this far, straight through the wire Don't let them know we're burning in the fire Because there's nothing more that they'll love than a juicy story Let's make this look good no matter how m

Halfway Mark (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 15

Image
Go ahead and take your space Because here with me is not your place Maybe I deserve better, but then again maybe I don't Maybe you need to experience more, but maybe you won't Here we are stuck in the middle with no one but us If you leave now how do you expect me to ever trust? But if it's space that you need, then go ahead It's worse regretting than waking up in an empty bed We made it exactly to the halfway mark of forever Time ticking away just turned into never And I'm sorry to say that you're all that I got But I'm more sorry to say I hope it's everything you're hoping it's not And I'm hoping to say "no" when you want to hear "yes" That someday I'll want what I want now less And you're aching for it more than ever That you regret the unbreakable ties you severed So I stand here alone at the halfway mark of forever Time ticking away just turned into never...
