A single moth will fly towards a #lamp in its pursuit of light.
A jar full of moths will fly towards a lamp but will not get farther than the jar, so they give up.
Being trapped or confined stems your passion, your motivation, your creativity.
Break free from the jar

Am I still myself
Or am I just a shell
Am I getting better
Or am I in hell
Can I show #affection
Or can I just show hate
Can I start to heal
Or is it too late
Am I still myself
Or am I just a ghost
Can I forget the pain
When I need to the most
#vss365#amwriting#poetry
A fair share of fights
And many restless nights
Overwhelmed by #delights
And reaching new heights
Soon departing this flight
With a whole novel to write
The light shining so bright
Even with the end in sight
#vss365
I wanted to say hello
I think you're a fine fellow
I hear you play the cello?
It sounded very #mellow
Teach me how to bestow
That large winded crossbow
Please you must go slow
I only know the oboe
#vss365
I lost my #innocence
Somewhere back it time
I'd like it back now
If I could rewind
Not it's forgotten
A relic of the past
A dark, twisted soul
I hope it won't last
I'm looking for my innocence
Or at least what remains
I'll hold it tight this time
Until I lose it again
#vss365
I get in my spaceship
I fly into space
I soar through the galaxy
At an incredible pace
I fly in a #wormhole
Anxious for the other side
My heart begins racing
I just enjoy the ride
It spits me back out
Right where I started
My greatest adventure
But I never departed
#vss365
I go against the flow
I am a #contrarian
When you stop I go
I am a barbarian
I want to stand out
No one group I marry in
I want to scream and shout
And upset the librarian
It's lonely way out here
No one else to bury in
I'll try another gear
And stop being a contrarian
#vss365
I'm far from the #speaker
And I cannot hear it
I inch my way closer
Until I am near it
The sound is so loud
But I just hear silence
There's a symphony of notes
But I hear no violence
I turn up the speaker
Til it's up to the max
I take a step back
And I hear it at last
#vss365
I once was #someone
Or maybe something
And now I'm no one
Or maybe nothing
I once was strong
Or maybe brave
Now I don't belong
Except in a cave
I once was someone
I once have a dam
I once was someone
Or maybe I still am
#vss365
I put up my #defense
I'm ready at the gate
I'm ready for whatever
Until it is too late
I have a solid plan
I know it won't fail
I stay put right here
Until it's time to bail
I guard the precious jewel
I watch til the end
I'm ready for whatever
Except what I defend
#vss365
I feel it coming
It's growing clearer
As I wait here
It gets nearer
I can't avoid it
It's almost here
I hope it's not
All that I fear
It has arrived
It overtakes me
It picks me up
It nearly breaks me
It starts to leave
It #dissolves away
As I wait here
For another day
#vss365
Say no to the flow
The controlled stop and the go
Being way too thorough
No creativity to show
Say #yes to the mess
No facts just a guess
A chaotic small rest
Give in to the randomness
#vss365
