Premium Member Fight or Flight Mode Switched On
Fight or flight mode always on Can't explain to anyone what is going on in life Internal/External strife "Take a breath; you'll be alright" Set a match to dynamite World without is going mad World within is getting sad Cortisol spikes all the time Rarely am I doing fine "Wake up! Someone's calling you!" "Look around! There's much to do!" Balance work and what's at home You're fenced...

Pandora's Box Switched On
Pandora's Box Is truly alive and well Thriving to this very day Streaming and beaming away Into the vast majorities of family homes Not actually opened But rather willingly freely Switched on under the misguided illusion We believe and buy into it to be 1 part entertainment And 2 part information and knowledge Based upon truth and facts to impart And like...

Light Switched
Living without Jesus is like walking around in a dark room you can’t see where you are going but once you find Jesus it’s like all of a sudden the light has been switched on and you can see all the obstacles in your way and God gently guides you into a new day...

The Pissed Off Is Switched Off
A man who is hurt beyond words Begins to think of crossing swords The air rending with harsh war cries: "Shame on who for cowardice flies!" A man who is hurt beyond words Terrible things does to binding cords: No more rushed "Hellos" and "His" He leaves minds to find out the 'Whys?' A man who is hurt beyond words Accepts to fight in...

Baited and Switched
Salt lick temptation lures that dangle, camouflaged darkness masks and blinds Easily captured when most attracted, flypaper memories —trap and bind (The New Room: November, 2021)...

Premium Member Switched Back On
Emotion comes in so many forms, Out of nowhere, it simply arrives, A certain feeling comes over you, Can’t believe, twas buried inside. Now this is fantastic, boy it’s great, Lost and carefree, again aged three, Uplifted and ebullient all at once, Impervious to decadence I’m free. Nonchalant as a meandering river, High as a steeple, I’m touching the sky, Lost in translation,...

Premium Member The Day I Switched Classes
"Miss Stokes, what do you think Pip was thinking?" Uh-oh. I possibly should not have pretended to be my twin today. I am taking her classes, pretending I am sick, rather than she. This is 7th grade English, and I have not even heard the word Great Expectations because my twin hates English as much as I despise math. In my...

Not a switch To turn off Then back on At beck and call Push one way Then the other Words meaningless Without voice Obey when spoken to clap did it work A relationship More like a slave Do I exist Maybe invisible Need glasses Awakening light Pressed too many times Icing on the cake Let me...

The Light Switched On!
I celebrate no light switched off, I celebrate no ragged cough, But sing, I do, the men of mind, And I myself, who am not blind. I sing the pride of happy wealth--- That light-foot walk of free men's health When, with chains of tyrants cast away, Promethean minds invent and play. They lighten loads and brighten night, They make the wings of length'ning...
