There's nothing more #stentorian than
your enemy facing karma.
I hope you know interest builds.
I would do it myself
but the lord and life,
does a better
job than me.
Good bye,
bitch. #nonet #9linepoems

Should've learned not to appease #fussy
people, and lose myself to them.
Take this to heart, the house wins.
No matter the hand, lose.
The prize, approval?
Need better prize.
Jackpot wins.
For me.
Me. #nonet #9linepoems

Watching the numbered spheres spin around
while I rely on numbers
to feel #safe. Did I pick right?
I shut my eyes and pray.
Is it the right choice?
Ticket for life.
Still waiting
numbers

Be wary of #vengeful spirits here.
You should probably stop dancing
for attention from strangers.
This is why you're haunted.
Spirits are mad now.
What did I say?
Nope, I'm out.
Take him.
Please. #nonet #9linepoems

There are things not worth #imploring for,
wish I knew that when I was young.
Loneliness wasn't that bad.
At least I can respect
myself not rely
on the others.
In the end,
it's just
me. #nonet #9linepoems

Walls line the path across the pasture
Stretching to the forest nearby
Empty limbs hang low and dark
Hollow darkness beckons
Beyond the tree line
What lies within
Who will dare
Visit
There

Staring through the #hollow pixie stick.
Used to enjoy these as a kid.
Fun colored crunchy sugar,
turning tongues fun colors.
Life was simple then.
Tastes different
nowadays.
Tongue blue.
Sweets. #nonet #9linepoems

Watching the water get #seethed for tea,
bubbles boiling in the rusty
kettle. Letting out whistle
when it's ready with steam.
Time to pick the tea.
Green, Oolong, black,
cinnamon,
or peach?
Done. #nonet #9linepoems

Wish I could #portray my drawings on

Wonder if artists struggle
with drawing hands or eyes.
Symmetry is hard.
Especially
on paper.

To #forgive is a foreign concept,
especially with narcissists.
They never admit they're wrong,
somehow it's always you.
Limited supply
of forgiveness
I hold on.
Stable
mind. #nonet #9linepoems

Should've learn from that Peanuts cartoon
about being #embroiled in
politics. Sally was right,
eventually they will
sell out their people.
Nothing ever
lasts in stone.
Just fade.
Gone. #nonet #9linepoems

Sometimes my memories #hinder me,
from moving forward with my life.
Slippery obstacle course,
falling flat on my face.
Just keep on moving.
Don't know where I
am right now.
Again,
stuck. #nonet #9linepoems

Can'T Move GIF ALT: Can'T Move GIF

Picking up the #ravaged pieces of
my past. Don't know where to start now.
They were right about burnout.
There's a weight that lingers,
the roadblock is gone,
but your legs pause.
Can you move?
Afraid
not. #nonet #9linepoems

Have to get #crafty when it comes to
fighting my procrastination.
Yes, I tried resolutions.
I tried setting goals too.
Procrastination
ends up winning.
Try again.
Maybe.
Eh. #nonet #9linepoems

I don't want to see anybody
that #provokes my old memories.
High school reunions? Never.
See the bullies grow up
into something worse.
Do I have faith?
Just live to
spite them
all. #nonet #9linepoems

at the #turning point alliances form
from hibernating seeds of thought
change moves within the flux of now
provoking ebb and flow
the shift disperses
useless questions

Perhaps I was #silly for thinking
that I can escape from it all.
Turns out I dug a deeper
grave. I thought I moved up
only to see down.
Same hole, same pain.
Hurt again.
Only
tears. #nonet #9linepoems

It's all in your head right?

There's something about #rejoycing to
discovering old music from
vintage music collections.
Cassette tapes, Mp3s,
CDs and vinyl.
Memories held

Swoon. #nonet #9linepoems

Used to miss those color changing shirts
that change colors under the sun.
It was fun #exposing it.
Though sweat messes it up.
The touch shirts were fun.
Though distracting.
Wonder if
they make

I needed to be #guarded for a

Cannot ignore them.
Do not attempt
to fix them.
Let go

“Guess who’s coming to dinner tonight.”
Her smile told me it was good news.
That limited the options.
“I don’t know. Who is it?”
She wouldn’t tell me.
“You have to guess.”
“Poitier?”
She sighed.
“You!”

We really picked the wrong animal
to domesticate. We should have
picked foxes. Furry cheese puffs.
They can be #docile.
If picked correctly.
Almost like wolves.
Maybe for
the best.
Cute. #nonet #9linepoems

This always happens to me for tests
I get #perplexed by word problems.

Who buys eighty burgers?!
Get some fucking help.
Wait, who's Steve now?
I don't know.
Sixteen.
Ugh. #nonet #9linepoems

Wanting to be #distant from people,
can't stand them anymore, draining

Need to be with my thoughts.
No one's hearing me.
I trust myself.
Tired of
people.

Of course I’m tense
You have a clouded lens.
You twitter and dither
Spout nonsense
Wade ankle dip
Imagine a PHd
Get off the net
Read a book
Get some sense.
