It’s happening again A nightmare relieved A groundhog day becomes a year Almost certain it’s not 2020 I swear I saw this episode already So mad and confused No end in sight But stay positive and do the right thing Blah blah blah I guess everyone is dusting off their notes from last year Is […]

Can’t Stay
Better that I left You didn’t want me around Kept checking the time Too nice to say leave But just mean enough to cheat You had a long day Didn’t feel like hanging out Maybe tomorrow I left and got in my car I charged my phone for the GPS In comes the man you […]
Cut Strings
We are puppets Made to feel free Yet still connected to strings Here are some scissors Cut yourself free But don’t let them see They will only string you up again Day #402 SJD © 2021 Segundo Juan Devora. All Rights Reserved.

That One Day!
