Depression – 2

“Sleep isn’t just a sleep anymore, it’s an escape”

Teary eyes with Muffled cries

Strength lost and Hope dies

HAIKU: I SURVIVE THE PAIN

I Survive The Pain

I Hear Tick Tocking

A QUOTE THAT HOLDS YOUR FEET TO THE FIRE

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

There are always New Year’s resolutions
that end up broken
faster than a speeding bullet 

Daily goals
Weekly goals
Bucket lists
Wish lists
Dreams,

THE SALT MINES

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

working in the salt mines
it’s a hard and daily grind
a slave to weekly wages
it’s a life that’s so unkind 

no parties with the mighty
the famous and the rich

HAIKU: BE TRUE TO YOUR HEART

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

You make your own way

no matter what they all say

Satisfaction

Satisfaction

I’m often asked in what I believe

And the goals I’m trying to achieve.

REUNION

I’m not anything I thought I would be,
I don’t drive a Corvette or have a law degree.
I don’t spend my days lounging by water’s edge,
My house lacks crown molding and brushed nickel finishes.

Success

The finish line
Sits empty and alone
No medal claimed
No queen enthroned
She sees the need
But not the success
Forever saddened
She’s not the best
The victory song
Rings out unheard
Her victory speech-
Not a word.
She making lists
And making demands
Her life’s not lived-
It’s planned
