i sit
drenched in sweat
from working too hard
for far too little
with my gut
hanging over my jeans
and my nose
different than it was
ten years ago
bumped and battered
from the beer in my hand
and the cigarettes
in the ashtray
and
i think back
to when my wife met me
fifty pounds ago
before i was a drunk
when i smoked
a pack a week
instead of
a pack a day
when we knew i would
be a famous artist

I’m thankful that the weekend is only passed half way
Today I worked and so it felt more like a weekday
I’m thankful that I went out with friends tonight
Having dinner and drinks with them sure was a delight
I’m thankful that I can go home now to sleep and rest
After an active day, coming home sure is the best
I’m thankful that I have a free day tomorrow waiting for me
That I have no plans so that...

All the past lives and all the ways my ...

But that fear
intense pit in my stomach
came from you
I’m grateful for my mom
I’m grateful for my sisters
For everyone who stayed
I’m even grateful for you
You taught me what not t...
Today, I am filled with gratitude and mindfulness as I wake up and pray for a great day ahead. I am thankful for the opportunity to eliminate anything that does not align with God's will in my life. The control is in my hands, and I am grateful for the divine plan that guides me. I know what steps I need to take and am thankful for that clarity. Gratitude extends beyond just today; I am also appre...
The sun rose today
It’s flaming light reaches the window tenderly
I don’t notice the light until I open my eyes
The sun rises when I rise
The apartment is standing firm as I lay in it
It’s blocks shield the sound of traffic and birds
I don’t notice the sound until I open my eyes
The sound makes noise when I hear it
As I rise the floorboards underneath me creak
My sleeping bad rustles and drags
