Daily Grinding

rambling

Daily grinding

Has left me daily

Mind wandering

Picturing the past

Absorbing the present

And finding neither

Worthy

Of me

 

Not to say

I’m something special

But my momma did say so

Once

 

My patience is wearing thin

And I feel the cold

Seeping in

Chilling my skin

While warming my bones

 

Logical…

Think on it

 

So I keep slogging

For interpersonal gain

And some sort of name

Recognition

Amongst my peers

 

What I write isn’t appreciated

By some

Even my mom

Who thought I was special

Once

 

And my girlfriend

Use to read what I wrote

Til she spoke on

Her dislike of poetry

Six months in

 

Switching lanes

And frames of minds

So I let her slide

Cause honestly it was

To late to kick her a*s…out of my life

Out of spite

For lying about who she was

When maybe I wasn’t as honest either

When maybe I haven’t been as honest either

 

Since then

Cause I figure she owe me

I’m an artist you know

And I’m sensitive about my s**t

 

Climbing higher is my aim

Hit or miss has been my reality

And I ain’t complaining

Loudly

 

Whispering bitchassedness

In the dark

To deaf ears

And writing letters

To those who thought 1^st grade

Was an option

 

Connecting the dots

With invisible ink

So I don’t show mistakes

My mistakes

Plenty

Acknowledging is smart

Changing is grown

Sometimes I’m neither

 

Paying bills and stacking pennies

I’m just daily grinding

I can totally relate, even now when I have no J.O.B. everyday hum drum can create such self-destructive behaviors... that is why we must be creative with our free time, either that, or explode when the weekend cums. lol. great piece, dig your voice...

(i need a favor--If someone could please rate me at 95, then I will have my top writer badge! argh! I hate having to ask for it, but 1 frickin' percent is all that is needed. thanks babe! wink. muah!)

You already know what I'm going to say so I'll hold it. I'll give my favorite line though, as usual.

"I'm an artist you know. And I'm sensitive about my s**t."

Arent' we all?

Fabulous!!
I love the flow of this,
but even more..
the emotional release --

what a ride through your mind --
it takes us from one thought to
another in perfect rhythm ...!

Failed expectations - lost in the grind
people -- places -- things --

life.

" Connecting the dots
With invisible ink
So I don�t show mistakes
My mistakes
Plenty
Acknowledging is smart
Changing is grown
Sometimes I�m neither.."

This is brilliant..

Keep writing.... keep writing...

And keep the light on my friend!
There's always hope
for a better tomorrow :)

This is great work Kat!
