Here we are
living the rest of our lives
on social media.
Where it’s only as lonely
as your next tweet.
Will this be the last #time
that my heart leaks
& my brain snaps open?
Sharing too much
or not enough is but one
thought that bowls me over.
Here we are.
What’s next?
#VSSPoem

I see stars when I fall
through the moon.
Coming out the dark side
way too soon.
A galaxy of words stuck
in my crawling mind.
Dancing through a comet
just to rewind.
#Abandon all hope
ye who enter here.
Swollen eyes share space
with each passing year.

In the #twilight of my despair,
a saturnine voice quips,
"Why, in this garish nightmare,
have you decided to appear?"
I look down and see my hand
has turned into a spoon.
I use it to dig a tunnel
and build a new cocoon.
One day I& #39;ll become
a butterfly.

Imprints lead to isolation
Crawling on my knees
I leave a #footprint
Laws of desolation
Trigger happy epithets
I leave my sorrow
In the hands of the
Muse of shadows
I return to triumph
Weaving yesterdays
Into submission
Don’t look for me back there
I‘m gone tomorrow
#vsspoem

a million ways to suffer this
#variation in my weakness
seems like repetition
the days all run together
when you should be happy
yet feel despair, gasping for air
it& #39;s not so hopeless as it seems
some days are worse than bad dreams
refuse to give up & fight.
#vsspoem #poetry

I fly through the sky
on a high, then crash
down down so fast
I #fiddle with the speed
decide to free fall
what will be, will be
landing in a cloud
of spun cotton
tasting so carefree
like I wish to be
but not today
and not this night
