Not to Be Taken for Granted
A Poem About Relationships
depression
regression
that’s not the way to start the day
wasting away
with things
that won’t move you forward
the light
a sight
as small as it can be
only waiting to be noticed
waiting to mean
something more
than just a sight you see
because before
all of the tech and sight tracking devices
our vices involved complication in our chores
beauty involved the basics
the things that are taken for granted
like a candid photo
or art
so to appreciate the small things
like a flower or a smile
the things forgotten
in our average day
should make you wonder
if we didn’t take things for granted
wouldn’t our minds be more at bay?

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"
