I wrestle with my thoughts—
they claw their way toward me,
pulling me under.
But I fight back, tooth and nail,
until their negative voices fade.
Wrestling Thoughts
Tag: The daily Spur
Being Together
Being with family
And friends
Never gets old.
Quite a grand time to share,
United for a little while,
Enjoying every moment—
Time always slips away too fast.
Urge to Grow
I feel the quiet urge to grow,
to breathe, to soften, to let things flow.
A tiny pull, a steady nudge—
a whisper saying live, don’t judge.
Be Honest
Let’s be honest—
We were never meant to be.
I was only a substitute,
a placeholder you kept warm
until something better came along
The Sailed Ship
That ship has sailed long ago
Never to return
Its wake still shivers through the water,
a quiet ache I pretend not to feel.
Some departures don’t announce themselves –
they simply drift past the horizon,
leaving you with the echo
of everything you never said.
Error of Your Ways
Do you see the error of your ways,
the trail of broken promises you leave behind—
a map of moments you never meant to honor,
a truth you never had the courage to face.
The Cat Wore Socks
The cat wore socks, the dog wore a tie,
My breakfast cereal started to fly.
The goldfish sang opera (not at all normal),
My morning routine felt truly abnormal.
I looked in the mirror, shrugged with a grin—
Maybe the weirdness just comes from within!
Square
Sides all equal to one another
Quadrilaterals that include squares.
Unchanging in shape,
Always precise,
Right‑angled and steady,
Even on every side.
Jet
Jet of light comes through
Awakening from your sleep.
A new day begins
Inside Fire
Fire burns inside me
Deep down within my own soul
Waiting to erupt
Possibilities
Paths yet to travel, dreams yet to unfold,
Open hearts and minds, embracing stories untold.
Seeking the spark where hope intertwines,
Stepping forward, where the light shines.
Infinite chances dance in the air,
Believe in the magic, let go of despair.
Inviting tomorrow with a sense of wonder,
Life’s beautiful journey, ready to ponder.
In every moment, a choice to explore,
Take a breath, for the world offers more.
Yield not to doubt, let your spirit soar.
Chains of the Heart
Rescue me from all that hinders me,
From shadows that weigh heavy on my soul,
Cut through the thorns that bind so viciously,
To find the path that leads me to be whole.
Lift me above the tides of doubt and fear,
Where whispers of despair no longer reign,
In the light of hope, let my heart draw near,
To find the strength to rise beyond the pain.
Let the winds of change blow fiercely, unrestrained,
And shake the chains that keep my spirit down,
In the dawn of clarity, I’ve obtained,
The courage to reclaim my lost renown.
For in my heart, I’ll find a way to see,
The beauty in the struggle, and to be free.
The Cost of Vanity
Try not to be vain,
It will get you nowhere,
A heart wrapped in mirrors,
Reflecting only despair.
In the glow of false beauty,
You may dance, you may shine,
But in the silence of shadows,
You’ll find no hand to entwine.
With each boastful echo,
You build walls made of pride,
Cutting ties with the true ones,
Leaving love cast aside.
So cherish the simple,
Valleys deep and wide,
For in humility’s embrace,
True joy cannot hide.
Seek not the fleeting glory,
Let kindness be your guide,
In a world that’s ever-changing,
It’s love that will abide.
The Hold
Make sure your grip is tight.
Don’t let go, for you don’t know what lies below.
Beneath the shadows, secrets loom,
A world unseen, where echoes bloom.
With every heartbeat, a whisper calls,
Of hidden depths and ancient walls.
Thread carefully, let caution steer,
For in the darkness, doubt may leer.
The winds may howl, the tides may shift,
Yet in your hands, you hold the gift.
A chance to soar, a chance to fall,
But fear not the plunge, just heed the call.
So take a breath, embrace the sky,
With every moment, let your spirit fly.
Hold on tight, the journey’s begun,
With dreams as your compass, you’ll find the sun.
Beyond Physical
You don’t need fists to cast your chains,
For words can echo and leave deep stains.
Actions can wound without a fight,
While shadows linger, stealing light.
No need for physical to leave a scar,
Silent harm can reach so far.
In gentle whispers, pain can lie,
With every word, a soul can sigh.
