OVAD #6

A little man lives in my mind.
He speaks to me.. well, all the time.

He speaks to me of jealousy;
Of lust, and pride, and vanity.

He tells me I should let him out.
He fills my head with fear and doubt.

I will not let him take a hold.
I'll fight him 'til I'm grey and old.

Build consciousness into my core.
Then the man will speak no more.

OVAD #5

What the heck day?
I don't mean to be rude, but where did you go?
It seems like we started
just 2 seconds ago.

What the hell sun?
Where'd you hide your darned face...
Give me some light
to help me through this rat race.

What the hey brain?
Which way'd my train of thought go?
Did it get lost on the way
or am I late to the show?

What the dingus heart?
I thought you were better than that!
You know that way's rough,
so don't fall in that trap!

Hey life, It's your boy.
You wanna go get some food?
I got a few serious questions,
so get back to me dude.

OVAD #4

Spit and struggle, make it double;
Pile on hardship, sweat and trouble.
Push through doubt and you shall find:
Your greatest muscle is your mind.

OVAD #3

Those moments of clarity that seem such a rarity
Teach us not just to live, but to be.
My glance missed a chance to take a new stance;
The next time it comes, I won't flee.

OVAD #2

Let's make a toast
To make the most
of light's new boast
as day unfolds.

I'm told, by old,
That to be bold
One must be willing
To break their mold.

OVAD #1

Old scars cast fresh hopes as worthless,
New words drag aged hurts to surface.

One-Verse-A-Day Challenge

In an effort to improve my writing and thinking, I will endeavour to create a piece of poetry each day.

Through this I will try to explore the vast seas of content in this wonderful world. This process will be used as a tool, with the poem being the end result, to summarize things into my own words.

Hopefully it will make me more attentive, expand my views, and stir up a curiosity that I thought lost.
