Pad challenge Day 14

Sickness

By Patricia Harris

Though I have no reason
Why I can’t do what I need done,
Today I feel like the sickness
Has won.

On the day
When I have
So much to do…
And I don’t have time
To just be laying down
Struggling through…
That is when my body gives in.

Living

By Patricia Harris

Living,
Unlike dying,
Is a way to
Splash hope
everywhere.

Dying is the end,
No way to start
The attempt again…

Living allows you
To pivot to another
Direction for the
Light to shine on.

A Choice Made

By Patricia Harris

So I had a choice
And I made it,
Not sure if it was right,
But a choice was made
Anyway.

Perhaps I should plan
My choices better,
To avoid the mistakes…
But I feel like I would do it
The same way anyway.

Ars Poetica Day 3

verse to ease a mind in chaos
written down in rhythm rehearsed.
poetic bent strengthened by
the age old desire to live eternal
as the moment lives.

so up goes the pen
to write the verse,
poetry makes sense…
for where else could
eternity possibly exist?

Falling in Reverse

by Patricia Harris

Spending the majority
of my life feeling like I am
Falling in Reverse,
standing up dizzy…
sitting down strong…
and yet is there really anything wrong?

Trying to figure out
why my life is so
backwards and wrong,
still fighting to remind myself
that I have always been
first and foremost strong.
