Did It Leave Me? Blue black breath I stand on this desserted trek waiting Wondering, will it come? Has it gone? Will I have another chance if it has? Aimeless back and forth I go. Only the black shadows friend or foe? I do not know. I stand a pawn of Time lacking vision my only crime. Have I already been condemned? Frozen. will I find a friend to help me back on track? I stand rooted, waiting. Can you tell me, if it is gone that way will it come back?

The Monster Inside
The Monster Inside It lurks at the very edge waiting breathing heavily hoping that one bad choice will be made; avalanche. Then it leaps through the air teeth bare, a vicious monster aiming for the jugular.
Greed
Greed Our downfall is greed sprinkled with the need to be seen as prosperous. We consume our way into the grave making the mistake that having more means you're a success, oh no, you are a slave on the product line of progress.

Pretty Words
Pretty Words Pretty words are a dime a dozen and they quckily lose their shine. They bolster the ego but offer nothing tangible but misguided plastic shrines. Pretty words deceive the mind trap you in a time when you were in your prime but no more. Pretty words fill an empty void and makes you empty when that decoy is destroyed by reality. Pretty words are just pretty now they linger for a while then blow away with time.
Sh*t Don’t Go Away…
“Yes! I had finally gotten rid of it. It would no longer rule my life. Maybe I can take a break from being so vigilant and do the things I’ve always wanted to do.”
I made the mistake to think I could use a bandaid to cover a gash. I had done what I set out to do really I had fixed the problem, permanently.
But that was not the case, because some problems are bigger than we are and we have to seek help. But I, I had solved my own problems and now things would be smooth from this point forward. So without knowing that my nemesis was lurking, I started to pat myself on the shoulder, maybe I got a little cocky and started doing something that got me in trouble in the first place. But never mind, those things can be handled or at least I know I can handle those things.
So naturally, I went ahead and did whatever I felt like doing, even if it wasn’t right for me. After all, I knew when to pull back and get myself in line. But, I did not. Better yet I could not pull, not after I started and certainly not when I wanted to stop. But I was still sure I would never get back from where I was coming from.
However, I underestimated its tenacity and willingness to wait, a trait I have yet to fully master. So it waited for its chance while acting like a fool, doing everything but being vigilant. As I became confused by my desire and neglect it slowly crept back to the top. It crept back on top of me, overwhelmed me and locked me under its spell of pain and dread. Now, I am playing catch up and I can’t allow it to get too ahead of me, all is not lost yet. I have to take some drastic steps to crawl out of the dark hole it flung me in, dust off myself, build up my strength and attack it this time at its roots. I have no other choice left…
