Word

for those who have exhausted everything
under the broad day light,
is there a word for them?
a word to describe
what they have seen,
what they have felt,
and what they have chosen to do?
to live each day,
with both eyes wide open,
bearing thousands of battle scars,
to remember all that have happened
it may be too much of a toll to be burdened with.
nevertheless, we stay awake,
to seek the truth,
to be responsible for our entity,
and to adhere to our belief and principles.
let both levity and gravity be in unity.
for this longest brevity.

Cleaning

it’s no easy task; figuring out
how the drainage works,
buying the right equipment, experimenting
with different drainage solutions.
But I’d say it was worth my time
fixing this filthy thing I’d prefer to avoid
take up on a piece of dirty responsibility
I’d need to face one way or another
And after all, it is not too bad
staring at this now shiny sink.
yes, it’s one task I’m bound to see again,
but until next time, please fare fair with me.
