Life (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 31)

Life is a journey

Take it one day at a time

I hate cliches 

But I guess it's true

We can't control everything

And the things we can

We have to learn to let go sometime

Most of life is luck

Very little is hard work

Being at the right place at the right time

Making the right decision

Even though you had no idea it was the "right" one

We punish for things we didn't cause

And celebrate things we don't deserve

But that's life

And it's all we have

Until we're done here

Life is a journey

Enjoy it

Live it

Take it

Cry it

Love it

Over/Under Whelmed (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 21)

Over or under

There's no in between

I'm overwhelmed 

With my passions and dreams

My mind won't stop racing

The time moves too fast

My body won't stop pacing

How long will it last?

I'm underwhelmed by life

There's not much to it

It bores me by the night

So I just think and sit

Of new ways to make it happen

Don't know where I'm going

I can hear my brain laughing

Not sure what I'm sowing

Shipwreck (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 16)

Do you see the shipwreck over there?

Do you see the shipwreck over there?

Everyone's staring

Everyone's staring

They won't help

But they won't cover their eyes either

Maybe someone should see the damage

Maybe someone should see the damage

But no one's moving

But no one's moving

Maybe because they can't provide the bandage

Maybe because they think it's hopeless

There's smiles on some faces

There's smiles on some faces

The rest of their expressions are blank

The rest of their expressions are blank

The crowd fills the empty spaces

Yet no one moves

Now the shipwreck is sinking

And not one person is blinking

It's going down

But it's not making a sound

And everyone pretends they didn't see

They all pretend the shipwreck isn't me

Today's prompt was a paradelle poem.
