A little help Friends help you get by Lovers help endure Family helps get back up How far do we get alone? With help no way of telling Life hurts less With someone to share the story with Day #340 SJD © 2020 Segundo Juan Devora. All Rights Reserved.

Two tears for the unknown In passing a story I heard A life long struggle With a tragic end A hero did not make it Their life now an example A beacon to others I cried not because of their story But because I know deep down They would’ve rather lived Day #339 SJD © […]

I’ve seen all movies I can Wasted endless time scrolling The weekend no longer matters Stuck at home chasing my tail Bored out of my mind My imagination has called out No indication of when it will return I feel drawn down Tomorrow has to be a better day Better than today? Not saying much […]

On top of this mountain Alone from the world I breathe deeply Yell freely Curse those who’ve caused this Whether they are God or man Better alone and safe Then alone and dying The birds are free Man is trapped A fitting punishment A virus to wipe out the disease Day #331 SJD © 2020 […]
