mundane (Remove filter)
Average
The punishment of being average
Working hard to be insignificant
To be unimpressionable
Forgettable
Not memorable
Categorically credible
Always the candidate
Never the chosen
Always the nominee
Never the number one
Exceptionally unexceptional
“Good”, yes, hum-drum
A feeling unrecognisable to heroes
Even unknown to villains
With separate woes,

Melancholy
Is it me? Is it real?
The feelings that I feel…
never seem to match
the world around me.
What if I’m lost in time,
wrapped up in some sublime
cosmic poet’s next attempt
at melancholy?
I don’t ever feel at home,
most times would rather be alone.
I’m broken, yeah I know
cuz I don’t change things.
Maybe I’m just out of place,
running long in the wrong race,
or maybe I’m no go...

Groundhog Day
Does it matter what you do
or matter what you say?

And if I had to make a choice,
Still, I would choose the same, with all I had.

I need to buy tablet pen tips
Forty two hours since my last nap
Forty two thousand taps, scrapes,
And frustrated sighs
How much in sales today?

Is it enough?
How many strokes across digital canvas
To correct the damage done
One commission to the next
My heart left these works long ago
Onward, fingers, onward
Create the things they want to see
