One of the hardest things to learn
Is how to unconditionally love;
It starts with loving yourself.
You know what you hate about yourself ;
You've had a whole lifetime to learn
To build a wall hiding all there is to love.
But love is greatest as unconditional love
And you always put harsh conditions on yourself.
Those conditions make it hard to truly learn.
If you want to be happy and healthy in life, learn to love yourself.

I'm sorry for the thing
I think I did to you
I don't know if I did it
But my brain says it's true
If I could go back in time
I think I'd think it through
And I probably wouldn't do it
At least, I hope that's true

Why do you have to go to work?
Can't you stay home and play?
The time you have to go to work
Is my least favorite time of day.
Why do you have to go to sleep?
Can't you stay up and play?
I don't know why night is for sleep;
It's more comfy in the day.
Why do you have to close the door?
Open it up and play!
My litter box doesn't have a door;
It's much more friendly that way.
Why don't we curl up on the couch?
I'm tired from all the play.
Sure, let's lay down on the couch;
I wouldn't have it any other way.

A crispy fried egg
Cooking in a skull shaped pan
Ideas sizzling
Better keep an eye on it
Or else the brain will get burnt

One by one
Stand in line
Patiently waiting our turn
Check the phone
Loose a sigh
Patiently waiting our turn
Thinking thoughts
Dreaming dreams
Patiently waiting our turn
All our life
Spent in lines
Patiently waiting our turn

I don't know if I can be
The person you want
I'm only a shell
A thin layer of Shellac
You like what you see for now
But at the first bump
The cracks will appear
And you'll see what lies within
See the empty windswept void
Haunted with the shades
And empty eyed souls
That make up the space within
Please recoil in horror
Run away from me
Find someone normal
I don't mind, I understand
Memories of us together
Will stay forever
Ghastly, pale, alone
'Til the next time a crack forms

Shock comes from my corner eye
I'm dreaming of a blue sky
But distortion overrides my view
Panic starts to crush my chest
Joy and calm are now oppressed
I drift higher to that sky of blue
In this clear blue sky I flow
Leaving fear and dread below
My body has done all it could do
Soon, I'll leave this world of ours
Drift among the sea of stars
Finally, my journey starts anew
SR Romney 2024
Affix the mind on nothing
Using missing screws
Let your mind wander
Until it's finally lost
Drift, and cease to drift
In the never ending void
Forget your life's purpose
Discard all you hold dear
For in true nothingness
You will discover everything

I am a broken porcelain vase
Each shattered piece carefully resting in its right place
Loosely held together by some glue
Doing my best impersonation of something new
But year over year, and crack by crack
I lose a little more of myself I won't get back
One day there will be so little left
My pieces all eroded, and my true self bereft
The vase is no more, no longer me
I'm the porcelain and lacquer washed away in the sea
SR Romney 2024
Destruction is part of life;
One that we all deal with someday.
Possessions, our intentions,
Our cherished ones, and then ourselves.
But also our difficulties.
Through destruction we all grow.
