Why I Chose to Forget
I use to miss them.
And what it was we did.
And now that I don't...
I try to remember,
Whatever it was that was done!
And why...
It is important to remember,
Why I chose to forget.

Myths Come To Wither
Myths come to wither.
With a beaming at dawn,
When the morning Sun arises.
And leaving nothing else to shine quite as bright...
As cloudy skies clear,
To widen the squinting of eyes.

Less Enjoyed
When one loses stock of relevance,
A significant influence ceases.
Similar to having false teeth
Replace the original!
What is tasted may be the same...
But the bite is less enjoyed!

Am I Trying To Convince You I Am Happy?
You have a need to convince me,
Your way of life lived is right.
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Am I trying to convince you I am happy?
What part of goodbye do you need defined?

Without An Adverse Affect
Respect the mind,
And all it gives.
Respect a friend,
For all that friend is!
So many are confused,
As to which one to use...
Without an adverse affect,
That disadvantages effect.

Dreaming
Dreaming to live a life to live,
And not living a life that has been given...
Is much like wanting to see flowers grow,
In one's backyard.
Without planting seeds,
Or making attempts!

Rebel
She said I was a rebel!
I thought that odd...
Since that day she detected my nature,
I was without my codpiece!
She did say she was clairvoyant,
But her eyes never met mine...
Ever!

Sincerity
The only thing sincere about them
Is their greed.
Show them something...
Anything you have they deem valuable.
And they will ooze of sincerity!
Reek with kindness and stale platitudes.

Calculated Outcomes
Sure,
Read me anytime you like!
You've been read several times.
That's why I am browsing through
Something fresh and motivating!
Calculated outcomes...
Are never the ones reassuring!

In This Vast Garden of Variety
If it was not for left stench,
Of your presence...
The freshness of flower scents,
Would be more inviting...
In this vast garden of variety.
But you choose to come,
And leave a reek!
