David William Breidenthal Poet Rhyme

Live In the Now

Raw emotions
Churns like oceans
In my mind's eye
And my heart's cry...
Is left unheard again 
Where have you been?
I will not worry 
I will not hurry
I'm just concerned and I want the best for you
My ego of I'm-better-than-you is thrown out the window and front door for you too

Constructive criticism is what I need
I don't want your destructive put-downs 
Humiliated as it already is...this engaging greed, I don't feed on, for it's not a good flower, but a bad weed
Don't give me demoralizing comments that gives me unhappy frowns 

I earned the right
To have standards of being a positive poet wholeheartedly
I fight the good fight
To have the aptitude and ability to move on to other substantial things fortunately 

We went through a De Ja Vu with a touch of Desperation 
Hey who are you to say that I'm an exasperation?
I live to be a true role model inspiration 
I sacrifice myself for others' sensation 

"Live in the now"
Is an Incredible saying...without saying I'm just saying
Somehow I don't know how
To respond to my endless, foolish praying 

Nobody cares about me...or at least it feels like it from so far away
I'm so upset because I want the spotlight when everyone else steals it from me today
I will be stronger than they'll ever know
I will go where the wicked wind will blow

I want to refrain from complaining
No more name calling...self-sustaining 
Arrogant comments are not needed anywhere
Refrain from driving me insane or in utter despair
Even if it's just a hair...
Yet, you still don't care
Strikes me odd really that you are acting Real Nasty 
You're something else, unfeeling and sassy

I'm not ready 
It's difficult being me
I'm so unsteady 
Felt this uncertainty 
Throw me your confetti
Celebrate my downfall with me
I'm an overcooked spaghetti 
The trash will accept me possibly

If I ran far away from yesterday,
I would compete with tomorrow
I'm in this race together with you 
I will regain the strength that shines anew
