Thinking Too Hard

I’m running out
of things to say
so here I’ll pout
while you all play
and your words run
from sad to fun
in lines divine

My words run out
seemingly set
Then I have doubt
Almost regret
Nothing I write
is feeling right
Like me really

Not a Picnic

Holding tight to
her teddy bear
on a flight through
here to somewhere
as nightmares play
both night and day
to form her norm

Melodic Hook

Yesterday’s loss
is felt today
when placed across
tomorrow’s play
Life moves along
to its own song
replete with beat
