Didn't notice, day to day
The roof, had caved
Simply lived as I had
Driving away from my life
The colors yellow and gray
Walls washed with time
The doubts and fears
Year after year
Reminders of things
I long forgot
Something I wanted
But didn't earn
Water is the fear
Of flooding and loss
A party to rot
Enabler of decay
I wake afraid
Consumed by guilt and loss
Preparing to manage
All that is gone
Feel the mix of reality and sleep
Awake and taking inventory
Listing what I can address
Leaving what still haunts me

Spoiled

All expectations
Before I was born
Hero on field
Protect legacy
No use for books
No conversation
Don't talk about
My place in this nation
Simply not my understanding
Seems the problem's clear
Any alleged deficiency
I simply cannot not hear
Tell me where you're from
Don't bring your habits here
What happened?
Used to be so clear
It's not working
What I hold so dear

Smug

It all comes through our worst impulses
The very human and inhumane
The restless hollow
The simplifying reduction to faceless
Alien polarized
Believing only
What’s most unkind
Suckers for the next one who can
Put the right words in the right order
To raise them up
We feed our fear
Please don't feel too smug
There's blame enough to go around

How do you define home?
Simply the place you sleep?
Is it the place you come from
Or where you're known best?
Everything you've made is yours
A better deal than you were given
It will take much more
To be rid of me
There is so much here
Friends and opportunity
You could spend your life
Wishing it all away
Some things you try for
To have a better life
To help others
To live another day
Live now
Live in the moment
