Sleepless

Awake all night long,
Bad TV to pass the time.
May sleep take me soon.

Stuck

Not moving forward,
Yet I cannot move backwards.
Can I go sideways?

Lost

Round and round I drive,
But never do I arrive.
Where do I look next?

Delay

I hear it again,
One more week, wait just one more.
Waiting is tiresome.

Poke

Something in my eye,
Hurting, itching, but unknown.
What did poke my eye?

Laugh

Rumbling up from depths,
Loud, full-bodied, genuine.
Life affirming sound.

Identity

Is it you I know,
Or my own idea of you.
Just how do I know.

Quiet

Not a thing to hear,
Not a thing to say today.
I could use some noise.

Upset

How upset it is,
This great big stomach of mine.
I must eat better.

Rain

Raining all the time,
Raining for the past few days.
I used to like rain.

Recognition

A familiar face,
Old picture seen once again.
Who is this person?

Waiting

The wait can be long,
Or sometimes it can be short.
"Hardest part," sings Tom.

Preoccupied

Something on my mind,
Stealing my focus today.
Nothing to be done.

Fly

You poor stupid fly,
Zooming into my desk fan.
Flung back at my face.

Critic

Friends can be too nice,
But tact is of no real help.
I need a critic.

Change

Everything changes,
Old comforts cannot be found.
Must seek out the new.

Motivate

Cannot get started,
I cannot get anything done.
Time is a-wasting.

Failure

How I wish I had
A green thumb. My thumb is black.
My plant is dying.
