How are we
Supposed to build
Our fortresses of resilience
Upon only
Loneliness, stress, and exhaustion?
Blast from the Past:
I keep circling
The vortex of agony:
Cycle of anger

Poems about navigating life
04/03/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
I sit here bobbing
Angsty yet bored, waiting out
The rest of my life
Blast from the Past:
Prisoner I am
Locked in a cage of freedom
Waiting for a key
03/25/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
May you go quietly
Into the night, while I follow
Kicking and screaming
Blast from the Past:
If death is nothing
Then the pursuit of pleasure
Is life’s sole purpose.
03/24/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Don’t tell me today
Is the best day of my life.
That would mean that all
Future days will be worse than
How I feel in this moment
Blast from the Past:
When the light fades out
Remember: all you worked for
Will one day decay
03/10/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Gliding in the water
Each stroke a synchronicity
Within my body
Blast from the Past:
What I’m looking for:
Contentment. To be happy
Just being alive.
03/09/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Life is what happens
When you stop waiting for life
To happen to you
Blast from the Past:
The antithesis
Of life’s not death, but being
On autopilot.
03/06/26 A New Poem for a New Day
My steps are horses,
Roaming the plains.
My songs are birds,
Soaring over the trees.
My passionate heart runs free.
Blast from the Past:
I have a desire
Wants to break free from my chest
And fly far away
02/23/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Watching laundry spin
Rolling up, only to fall
An endless cycle(Or at least for 30 minutes, but after that load is done, there always seems to be another load.)
Blast from the Past:
Pleasure comes and goes
Followed by melancholy,
An endless cycle
02/11/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
Each time we breathe in
It is a gift that grounds us
Back into the earth
Blast from the Past:
It’s strange how easy
It is to lose our ground for
Everything we have
02/09/26 A New Haiku for a New Day
We evolve based on
Our cycles, no sooner, no later
Than our own time
Blast from the Past:
Sometimes the things we
Need most are not the things we
Think we need at all…
