~The Sun Came Out Today~
2/26/2025 Michael R Hall

Inside of a sleepless second
On hundred miles an hour
Rushing past myself
Fearful of the future
Never there to open the present
I guessed it
And of course
A splash of coffee and caffeine
The taste of ni****ne on a cold day
Things tend to taste better
During times of desperation
May we never lose that
Being desperate
that is
We’re better when we’re hungry
Art won’t help the starving artist
Just like
The fish won’t help the fisherman catch them
For it’s all of the work in between
that goes unnoticed during the process
All for a “good job”
And to bring
A few seconds of bliss to the table
A quick and cozy ambiance
If only for a few seconds

~ Revel In The Worst ~
Feb/19/2024 - Michael R Hall

How have I survived myself
Through all of my mistakes and mishaps

I go to gather my memories
While they elude me
Traveling back and forth
Between the good days
Between the bad years
and mind altering substances

With little spurts of some good times
While the harsh moments seem more vivid

I’ve become a master and ignoring my trauma

It’s necessary in this world
Filled to the brim with bad intentions
Navigating a garden full of snakes.
My compassion has left me with scars
Reminders of where not to walk
in this great game of survival
Where the worst parts of our lives
Have given us the tools
To prosper through patience
to revel in the worst

Find me a place where I can rest from my dreams.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…it is the same with success.

~Commercial Airplanes Flying Overhead~

I'll slip suddenly into a frenzy
fueled by chemicals in my brain.
So I feed it more, only to my distaste
When the outside is lacking just as terribly as the inside.

The energies that I've been reading into
Are they off or are they spot on?
Can I ever feel relief?

My skin crawls from existence
Such a beautiful experience
and a terrible one as well.
Human interaction is mediocre at best
I refuse to allow myself to think
it was me that made it awkward
every time.

I've still got my head on straight
Please don't get me wrong.

But
It's in the moments I zone out

and i hear the clocks ticking in my office
The commercial airplanes flying overhead
My clothes clacking around in the dryer
cause i forgot to zip up a hoodie

That I feel the most peace.
If even for a moment.

~The night’s that I have survived myself,
Have always been the most enlightening~

~It's fine, I'm Fine~

Any accumulation
the build up of something great.
I'm chasing close behind now.
Almost even with my fate.
With thoughts of letting up,
the thoughts that i race.

Back up and running
Back up to pace

Only problem is,
I'm not sure of the finish.
So how fast am I supposed to go?
No truer statement then, I don't know

So,
I'll do what I can
till the timing is right.
Before I have to go

I can't rest until then.. and still
I fear of running out of time.
I fear that even in death, I won't rest.
That's fine

It would make anyone go mad.
What the head does to the heart…
