Drowning, suffocating, longing
to be better.
Forever striving for the unobtainable,
a struggle I once accepted as eternal;
but I'm tired,
so tired
...tired.

Apologies to My Friends, Family, and Familiars
Apologies to My Friends, Family, and Familiars
Who am I
if not a friend?
A phony filled
to bursting
with false flattery
and fake friendship.
I'm sorry.
If there's one facet
of me I know to be true
it's just how sorry I am.

Call to Action
Call to Action
Find for me
a hero of stature:
one who will answer
the call to adventure.
Dangerous perils await.
Undeterred courage
will be a necessary trait,
to succeed in this challenge.
I do not demand
they be loyal to me.
Instead, be true
to heroism over villainy.

Quiet Thoughts Across Starlit Flight
Quiet Thoughts Across Starlit Flight
A flight through the void,
guided, in part, by a droid.
Calculations made at great speed,
powering forth the hero to their deed.
A greater power lies within;
the second edge is a path of sin.
A hero must choose
and with a wrong choice
many are doomed to lose.

Giving In
Giving In
Temptation is bred from fear,
a fear of not only loss,
but an even greater fear
of being powerless to prevent it.
In the face of fear,
those who live in darkness,
lash out against it;
their fear wears the mask of anger.
The mask takes on its own life,
draining it from the wearer
until the mask is the ruler
of a heart and mind lost.

Always Wanting Something More
Always Wanting Something More
What happened to the lines between:
good and evil,
confidence and arrogance,
success and selfishness?
What have we built?
What have we done?
Where can the world go,
to get away from us?
So quickly, are we prepared
to abandon this planet for a new one.
Why? What happened to the line between
contentment and avarice?

Moving On
Moving On
There is no beginning
Without an end
An inevitable cycle
That presents an opportunity
for legacy.

An inevitable cycle
That presents an opportunity
for legacy.
What we pass down
Isn't a simple handoff
It is instead
A precarious attempt
To lay a strong, yet flexible foundation.
To allow for one's legacy
to be used as the inheritor decides
requires genuine hope and humility.
