Goodnight Cruel World

Every morning,
I try not to harden my heart. 

From a jarring wake up,
to the cold air that greats me,
I can't help but feel,
completely uneasy.

I step outside,
and pray for forgiveness,
for I know what's to follow,
in this forsaken business.

Tailgating,
traffic,
and angry music,
anxiety,
fatigue,
with a little bit of panic.

The highs can be fleeting,
while the lows are depleting.

After all is said and done,
and I'm given none,
I lie myself to sleep,
and dream of sweet peace.

Good night cruel world.

Till we meet again.

Washed Out

Your crippling anxiety,
and life asserting events,
has no importance to others.

In the end,
our journey is solitary.

Some stories are significant,
while others are just an imprint in the sand,
washed away by the tide.

Take a moment to stop,
look,
and listen. 

You only get one shot to break the fifth wall.
