delicate filament
sticky

panic worsens
my plight...

You must hang in there
No matter what happens
Through the rough times
Situations worsens 
Before they get better
Just hang in there
Bad times do not last...

It's so nice to meet a really nice person
In this day and age of negative versions
If you think it out
What life's all about
Coffee will be necesary before it worsens...

Time creates wounds
Time exposes old wounds
Time worsens wounds
Time can become a wound

Time reshapes wounds
Time lessens wounds
Time transforms wounds
Time can mend a wound

I’m thinking of a person 
Who is strong and resilient. 
Big in personality but size is small. 
When mad, they turn a green pigment. 
All is lost when anger worsens. 
Tantrums raging, escalating. 
Tired now, limbs in a sprawl. 
I’m talking about toddler phasing, 
A daily battle of exertion....

You will only wonder why I could never see to believe
To say good bye
Approving all of what I believe is wrong
But just watching
For if said something it worsens
So then wait
Deprived of what is yours
And not knowing what to hold in hand with gratitude
And what is needed to let go with an open hand
Somewhat special but never taken for granite
In the walk for the slow race to win it all back exactly the way it was given...

As winter weather worsens so the stranger worries for his plight 
Taking hot drinks to him daily, knitted hat to wear at night 
One cold dark morn before the dawn the man he sadly died 
The frost and cold had taken its toll and when the stranger heard he cried

Man explores outer space
     with probes and rocket ships,
whilst here the human race
     ebbs from the headlong tips

of balance: wars, famine,
     waste, hunger, crime, disease, 
and his wild greed worsens
     the earth's untold crises.

Why not spend the vast wealth
     of this world for the need  
here first, then explore space
     at light-speed (once we're freed

of what destroys our race)?
If not, we'll be replaced!...

we are worn glass;
lungs shorn to a staple
of grammatical haste
that worsens when 
inhaled by smoke. 
 

He tells me:
believe in ghosts, 
and always let
pride supersede you. 

but I don't have much
faith to those
that only tell me
that time is ticking
right underneath rib bones
and cigarettes. 

There's no lines
to read between, 
and I lied when I said
it was fine, and okay. 

He says:
you're a cheater. 

And I simply say, 
tell me you weren't asking for it....

The light in the void is spinning!

The sounds in the air are crushing!

The breathing is fast, in the lungs air's hitting!

The slits in the eyes are not seeing!

The drilling is deep, thunder's exploding!

The movement felt is disorienting!

The pain in my head is never ending!

Migraine's got a hold and it's staying!

Can't sleep, can't talk, can't eat, can't see, can't walk!

Concentrate on pain...it worsens!

When will this end.....PLEASE!!!!

Begs this person!...

With aging comes a malady
Which worsens bit by bit.
At first it's just annoying
And can find you in a snit.

It isn't physical and won't
Affect your smarts or wit,
But rather it attacks your brain
And causes thoughts to flit.

You think of something you must do
But then you must admit
The plan you just had in your mind
Has somehow seemed to split.

If this description sounds to you
Like something that might fit,
You're suffering from CRS -
That's Can't Remember.....Spit!...
