2133. Just Accept It

Struggle you may,
Protest you might,
I am more stubborn,
Tougher than you
By a factor of two.
That's right.
See you tonight.

2127. Respect

Treat each
Person
With
Respect,
For you
Don't know
How
Difficult
Their road
Has been.

2117. Do You?

I don't
Continue
With
Those
Who
Don't
Care
About
Me

2116. Not You

I am
Not you
I don't
Do
Things
The way
You do

2115. That's The Way

Yesterday
I once again
Became
A muse.
Now that's
The way...

2114. Backwards

This is
All wrong.
You
Should be
Impressing
Me.
A big
Thank you
Goes to
My friend
Stephanie
For remembering
The basics.

2108. Self Centered

I noticed
You noticing
Me.
Did you
See
That it
Made me
Happy?

2106. Blues Keeper

I went
To bed
And slept
All day.
I slept
All day
To put
My blues
Away.
Now
It's night,
And I sit
By the
Firelight
Wanting
To sleep
Again.

2094. Unfriendly

This isn't
A mutual
Friendship.
Outside
Texting,
I've been
Doing
All of the
Friending.

2093. All Niced Out

I can
Nice
Myself
To death,
And
Nothing
Will get
Done.
No hearts
Will be
Won.

2092. Postponed

I'm not going
To worry
About that
At this
Moment.
Currently,
I have
Other
Problems
To occupy
My mind.

2083. House Cleaning

I put all
My bitterness
And fears
Onto the
Internet
To get them
Outside
Of myself
I'm cleaning
House

2082. Jeers

It's hard
Having
A disease
That's a
Laughing
Stock
You hope
For comfort
And get
None

2077. Flight of Fancy

If you see
Written here
A bit of our life
Or conversation,
Remember
This interpretation
Might just be
A momentary
Flight of fancy.
Then again,
It could be
What I really
Think.
Guess
You'll have
To ask.

2072. Exclusions Apply

I don't
Discriminate
Based on
Religion
Or race,
But mean
People
Will be
Excluded.

2070. My Needs Are Important, Too

I need someone
Who will be here
For me
When I need him,
Someone who will
Hold my hand
And emotionally
Support me
Through my biopsy,
Someone who if
I contract
Some new disease
Is not going to flee.
Instead,
He'll be right by me
At my side,
Through all of it.
It's not all about you.
My needs
Are important, too.

2067. On the Precipice

The red
Sign
Says stop
As I drop
Again
Into deep
Depression.
A cliff
Looms
Ahead.
I feel
Myself
Teetering.

2054. Getting to Know Myself, At Last

There were other men
I loved more than you,
And they left me, too,
But that's not true.
Who called off
The engagement?
It was me.
Who filed for divorce
Without any remorse?
Who moved away
To start a new life
The next day?
So many times I've lied
To myself
And everyone else.
I'm the one who creates
My own loneliness.

2050. Over Confident?

Perhaps
My lack
Of feeling
Anxious
Is
Over-
Confidence

2046. Reduced

I tried and failed
To be more
Than a whale
In a mud puddle.
Now I'm less
Than a teardrop
In an ocean.
