I have this disability
The one called imbecility,
Along with instability
And rampant incivility.
I lack dependability
And have no credibility.
I’m short on sensibility,
Am prone to gullibility
And have the inability
To see my fallibility.
And yet, with great humility
I say with plausibility
The concept “genius” –  you’ll agree – 
Really fits me to a tee....

Dane
Dreamy, depleted, decrepit, determined
Daughter of a Heavenly Father
Lover of: driven desire, delightful dancing, and delicious dishes.
Who feels: dedicated, diverse, and distinct.
Who fears: depression, desolation, and dependency
Who would like to see: domestic delight, dedication, and dependability.

the child inside

revealed through cascading 
recollecting
regrets unspoken break free
boundlessly

the child inside

hindered responsibility weigh
heavily
elation manifestation refuted
deniability

the child inside

yearning determined to depart
dependability
exchanging impulsive playful
irrationality

the child inside

locked away penal complexes
restricting
flee to autonomy- mischievous
creativity...

What Is This Virtue?


What is this virtue, loyalty?

Steadfast dependability...
 
Trueheartedness and faithfulness...

Honor and conscientiousness...

Single-mindedness devotion...

Incorruptible emotion...

Trustworthiness and constancy...

Sincerity and honesty...

Allegiance, bond, fidelity...

A precious gift is- loyalty.

I used to live in a watch 
I followed the movements of the screws and cogs 
It isn’t till recently I broke out of that box 
Now I live life untimed 
Free from the rudementary 

But without that who are we 
Without purpose, movement or symmetry 
Without the hand the face is lost 

Now I’m a watch without batteries forever stoped 

If only I were a sun clock, then my dependability would never stop 

But a las I am not 
I am not
But a faceless clock to a lost watch 
Forever stoped...
