Warnings of a Defined Nature

PINNED

I'm not here a lot. I'm not looking or needing any validation, sympathy, or understanding. I come..., I type..., I log out... I have less than a handful of people here that I've known for a decade or more and I sometimes respond to them. I do not... See More »

The answer is always just "No" if you don't ask.

But what do you do when you know that if you ask, that you may get an answer you like even less than a No? The Sitch: I want a raise at work. I'm the second highest paid hourly employee in the entire company and I really don't answer to anyone but... See More »

Sunday Morning with Thorin

There outside my window Amongst the barren trees I see the tiny rabbit That frolics through the leaves My grandson sits beside me He’s watching animals on tv “Puppa” this and “Puppa” that A thousand questions just for me Later we’ll go playing... See More »

Mental Health is for the Well To Do

I want therapy. I'm pretty sure I need therapy. But I can't afford therapy. I don't have insurance, and I haven't seen a doctor in over 17 years for anything. I've had illnesses that lasted weeks and injuries that lasted months, but all I could do... See More »

A Political Lymric of Remorse

I Told You So by:Rob Paquin We’re reaping what we’ve sowed Paying debtors we don’t owe We’ve sold it all We watch the fall Down the drain we all shall go I’m too simple when I’m silent When I speak you say I’m violent With thoughts unplanned... See More »

It's A Nice Day For A Walk

Right there, Outside my window Hanging in the trees Just past, The plants I care for Is a cacophony of leaves Not as vibrant As some other years But the change is underway A memory Is summer's warmth It's a beautiful Fall Day. I think a walk in... See More »

Light Doesn't Last Forever

The Dark Always Returns Do you fear it? I Do Not. I Accept It. I beg It To Take Me.

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but growing old is weird!

END GAMES by: Rob Paquin Here within the threads of life As the world spins out its webs I sit and think within the silence Trapped inside the empty bed With all these thoughts spinning round Things I’d like to just say plainly But there’s no... See More »

I'ma Just Leave This Here

by: Rob Paquin There inside the darkened sky The blackened moon just drifting by A heart eclipsed A tear stained eye A soul adrift Refused to cry A single star to make a wish A hope that’s greater than the kiss A dream that’s dreamt and not... See More »

You Don’t Love Me More

by:Rob Paquin I love you like the fox loves the rabbit. Like the swan loves its mate. Like the floor loves the carpet. Like the world loves its fate. Like the dawn loves the horizon. Like sunset does the same. Like the way that you love me,... See More »

As The World Tilts Off It’s Axis

Here we are Such divergent engineers All of us toil away Every day With everything we do and everything we say. Building. Constructing. The prisons of our own design. We all walk Like runners in a tempest Every day With each step we take,... See More »

Ozzy Osbourne -The Prince of Darkness

Ozzy was my go to. My lean into whenever life hit me hard. He was also there for the good times and all of my celebrations. I haven’t ever shed a tear for a celebrity before now, but losing him feels harsh as if a part of my life has been ripped f... See More »

Happy Birthday !

20,075 by: Rob Paquin 20 thousand and 75 days I’ve been alive Half of those days Something inside has died Down but never out Sometimes just going through the motions Still doing what I can To calm the tempest on my oceans The sun keeps... See More »

VOICES, Voices, voices…

A thousand screaming voices A million words all said Some of them cheering me on While others want me dead Speaking up and shouting over Each voice rising in it’s stead The witnesses come forward Inside this courtyard of the dead It’s loud as hel... See More »

HIM: Puppa, if I catch a brook trout can we cook it? They look so tasty. ME: Sure buddy, if you carch one with your bare hands I’ll cook it for you. HIM: Okay,Puppa. Thank you so much. ME: You’re welcome, Best Friend. Puppa would do... See More »

Oceans and Tides

Peace slowly overtakes my mind. A falsehood of perception, washing over me like waves upon coastal sands. Lapping at my edges and taking small, unnoticeable pieces away from the whole. Returning them to the depths of an ocean like soul. Boundless,... See More »

I Complain..., A Lot !

Pffft! It is what it is... I come here a lot more than I'd like to admit. Most times I look at a ton of shit and say nothing. I have literally read at least a million posts on this site. Replying to probably less than 500. Which probably sounds... See More »

Personality Bleach

I've been told I'm simply angry That not much I do is right I've been told I can't explain my thoughts When my feelings are alight I've been told that I am worthy As they explain just how I ain't I've been sold a bill of contradictions To explain... See More »

Dancing Demons Always Dance

Demanding demons All fight in my head They’re inside my dreams Before I even get out of bed They frolick and they play They take up some time As I try to get other things Done in my mind I fight them, I befriend them I ask them why have they... See More »

Staples Can’t Bind Everything

Staples in my mind But no staples in the papers Twirling through the science of it That’s been left off in the tapers Wishing for the wind to come And rise upon my back I have no sails, to catch the gales In this world of utter black There’s many... See More »

Something Stuck Inside My New Posts that is there every time I go to post something. Hopefully posting it clears it from the que?

An unremembered and unfinished rhyme Tears that turn to snow Watching as the ice grows Freezing all that I know Inside a heart that's too cold Watching as my suns fold Too weak to make myself bold Beaten by the ice flows Frozen over as the time... See More »
