She never was the lucky one, most times things went awry; on the 27th day of April, she finally figured out why! All this time she’d been slacking, nary a care to be found; til suddenly it all came together, and life, as she knew it, would abound. Plenty of things she’d be chasing, never able to catch them at all; realizing, finally, today, she’d been merely dropping the ball!

Oblivious, in her new found happiness, continuing down the road of success; no one would doubt her, ever again, even though her life, still a mess. She hid that quite well, you might say, even her closest didn’t understand; that deep in her heart, she was crying, this wasn’t what she had planned.

Wanting to live like the other girls, arm in arm with the men of their dreams; she, never finding just the right one, discovered life, isn’t always as it seems.

HAPPY TELL A STORY DAY!

It was her daily routine, dawn til dusk

She sat by the window, searching

Hidden behind the slatted blinds

She looked, hoping he would be lurking

Day after day, she sat there

No one came calling for her

Night after night, same as the day

Eventually, it became just a blur

You can see where the blinds remain parted

There, her fingers kept them pushed apart

Though she no longer sits by the window

She remains hidden, alone, with an empty heart

Ego’s Tomb

defiance, ego, Ego's Tomb, loneliness, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, self importance

Countless hours held in silence

Wasted time spent in defiance

Ignoring precious moments left

Mind so filled with thoughts, bereft

Lacking patience for the lonely

Never realizing you are the only

One who’s lost in ego’s tomb

Locked inside your empty room

Where you cannot see the light of day

And your life so quickly slips away
