Be special, in your
own little ways and
by nobody’s rules but
your own.
Because to be special
is something that
doesn’t need to be
said, but can only
be shown.

I sit alone
Like a flower in a bouquet, squeezed
Together with other fruit laptops,
Fresh haircuts and heart-shaped coffees, pleased
As the conversations are as casual as
A bee’s hum buzzing into my ears, even better
It is an improved silence, adjusted
To fit my mood, as it fits the weather
Comfort overwhelms me, as I listen
This community, this cafe, everyone
Alone, yet together
How hard it must
Be to be a baby
Wanting everyone
To stop acting childish
But unable to speak
Nor shout
Clearly
Earth lost
Its temper
-ature, now
We face
Its heat
Read a book right to the letter
Words will then flow a bit better
Information will come
Take a sip of your rum
Now your opinions do matter
When the nose is
Full, it is not
An issue, take
Someone else’s
Finger instead
Of a tissue
Hill
The
Climb
To
Is only good
If you try to step
Where others stood
Young soul – abandoned
Childhood, never pardoned
Like a forgotten suitcase, left
Of parental love, bereft
Personally packed, carefully held
Thrown – onto the baggage belt
Traveled tens of thousands…
Tired
Time left to claim
Expired
The others – beautiful and cared for
Love-packed to their core
But the unopened lock – a token
Of unrequited love, truly
Heartbroken
Clothes never to be worn
For this suitcase, no one to mourn
Filled, like an overflowing bucket
Emptied, by those who struck it
Destined for the belt – a painful frown
The zipper breaks, condensation pours down
An unremorseful stop, no more spinning around
The sinkhole appears – no more ground
