Hating One Another --- An Almost Nonsensical But Pessimistic Poem
We hate one another. 
We can't get together. 
We know it's better to be friends, 
But we just don't even bother. 
Our turmoil is so intense.
It's at the end of our tether. 
All the King's Horses 
And all the King's Men 
Couldn't get us together....

Positively Pessimistic
If it wasn't for the pessimist
What would the optimist do
They'd have no earthly idea
What was needed to pull through

Or the gravity of the situation 
And how to handle it best
Without the negative of the pessimist
What would fill the optimists head 

Without the doom and gloom...

I go in for chemo session #2 tomorrow.  I sure hope my blood platelets are 
somewhat back to normal or at least healthy enough so that we can get this next 
session under our belt.  As for the poem – OK, I admit...

Pessimistic Promise
A promise is the greatest lie ever told 
Deconstructed fibs have fooled so many 
Nobody cares for the truth when a lie is more interesting
Breaking down our judgement with each lie we consume 
Who can be trusted with the truth?
Despair arises after the promise is...

Pessimistic Clown
It Wants Me Broken
like shattered glass

Living in the darkness
of an unforgotten past

Sadness and Sorrow
etched upon my face

My shoulders sagging
every step misplaced

Lost with no Direction
blinded by my own fear

Screaming inside my head
 no one else can hear

The Silence of my secrets
 has finally beat me down

The...

Anxiously Waiting
"It's 5 am in the morning, 
And I just can't stop thinking, 
As I wait here, my anxiety continues to build up, 
And the more I just sit and think, it's just gets even more tough, 

Thinking about the decisions I've made, and continue to...

You
People who want misery 
will find it in everything

An angel becomes the devil
The flower wilts
A cloud blocks the shining sun

Angry people pick fights with you
pretending it's themselves


Don't be your own
 Worst
   Enemy....

What I See
I notice what I desire to see,
 sometimes it's the void and not the whole.
Other days it is hard to decree,
 what I glimpse as I look through the hole.

I Am Almost To An End
I am almost to an end;
I feel so exhausted and empty.
My heart wants to forget;
I want to take a rest.

Fortunate are those who lay in the  fields of asphodels;
For, they never see.
For, they never feel;
The chaos of life.

When you find comfort in death;
It seeks...

When Your Solutions Are Sugar Coated Possibilities
…
[I’m an idiot; I can hold a conversation though I always stutter, I’m average looking yet I hate every molecule I possess. I’ve healed, yet those memories still haunt me. I’ve made impacts and shared my story, yet I’m worthless and will be forgotten. So...
