New Stuff

I just knocked this out, I'm not totally satisfied with it yet... Then again, I'm never totally satisfied with anything I've written. I'm a firm believer that everything can always be improved upon. Finding the right word can sometimes elude me, or maybe the right rythm.
Hopefully I will start getting a few more uplifting things written, I am a very bleak writer. I like the downtrodden and grittier side of life to write about. It feels a lot more real to me, than a world where the sink never overflows and the toilet never clogs.
I mean, when's the last time in a movie you saw a plugged toilet?
Chipping Away

How do you run
Walk maybe crawl,
Away from yourself
Then into a wall.

Bigger and stronger
You cant get around it,
Taller and thicker
You cant get under it.

It just keeps on going…

It’s the strongest thing I’ve ever seen
I just might be its only weakness.
Stronger than anything I’ve ever been
That’s because you’re my strength.

So maybe today,
I’ll keep chipping away
Trying to conquer this,
You and I know, it’s us we miss.

So maybe tomorrow wont be so lonely…

I think of you too much
The memories and such.
Heart healed from the break
Now it’s just a steady ache.

The hardest task will always be here,
Looking back in a rear view mirror.
Seeing you there, and memories of us.
I’ve got to stop thinking, making a fuss.

So I guess I’ll continue, my hardest task…
