Writings
Every day seem the same like a clogged up drain the same old Lame routine .
It’s like a tap left running , a constant dripping , leaving an overflowing amount of pain with ripples of fear invading the clear waters .
The filter is working overtime to remove each negative emotion , but with time it begins to lack consumed by the overwhelming stack .
I’m alone aboard a boat , crossing a restless ...
(I ultimately took out the “every day seems the same” prompt because it wasn’t adding to the poem itself, though this poem was very much inspired by the prompt nevertheless. I’m not sure if the spacing is working - I’m trying to have work on one side and home on the other. Needs to be tinkered with more, and the diction could be improved…putting it out there so I can revisit it later).
**Home**...
The same song plays
blasts in my ears
but it has some skips
Sounds a bit different
but still the same record
I hate repeating myself
and I think it’s because
I always had to with you
Over and over and over
Again and again and again
It feels like a lack of trust
I know it’s not
I’m just so tired
of doing this dance
of tiptoeing on glass
How can someone who thinks
they are wrong all the time
be ...
Every day seems the same.
Or, at least, that’s how it had been for a long time.
Every minute,
Every hour,
Every day,
Every week -
They all blended together.
Blurring into grey
With streaks of blue and red and purple.
I swear the world was dimmed.
Color… it just didn’t reach me.
I couldn’t see right.
I couldn’t feel right.
I couldn’t cry,
Couldn’t yell,
Couldn’t… couldn’t breathe.
It felt like slow...
Every day seems the same
Same music, same three windows
Same basic routine
But yet, each one has been a miracle
Since you came into my life
I didn’t know how much I didn’t know
I didn’t know how much I had never felt
I didn’t know what was missing
All that I had missed
You made my dream come true
Your smile is the answer to my questions
Your eyes, the key that unlocked my soul
Your life,...
(This is something I’m experiencing and I’m pretty spooked.)
Every day is the same, now.
I’m looking out the car window,
Or walking my dog.
I notice much more than usual.
More detail.
As if this is the last time I’ll see this season,
That this is the final time I will notice the leaves.
Or that I need to live now, becasue something is about to happen.
I’m walking my dog,
Watching my house ...
Every day seems the same, the repetition that I can’t escape. My alarm blares at 5:30 am waking me up, I make my bed, eat Lucky Charms for breakfast at 5:40 am, get ready for work, and walk out of my apartment at 6:10 am. I do the 5-minute walk to the bus stop, the bus comes at exactly 6:22 am every day. I get on the bus, say hi to the bus driver Gus, and sit for 30 minutes before getting off at t...
