Today I cry
not for any one specific reason
maybe it’s an accumulation
feelings left behind
hurts never managed
or pressures of life
the mundane
the little things adding up
frustrations
new rules and regulations
bills, responsibilities
not quite sure why the tears fall
but it feels better to let it out
after holding things in for a while
A good cry by Robert Rodriguez. May 25, 2023. 7:44AM
The lines don’t always flow
it can still be poetry
Things go wrong sometimes
and yet beauty can remain
Sometimes the hits keep coming
be ready, glove in hand
Life isn’t always easy
the trick is to ask for help if you dare

What would a sunny day be
if there were never clouds
What would life be
without adversity

Puts a smile on face
And a pure warmth in my heart
To hear you calling
My affection by Robert Rodriguez. February 11, 2022. Friday 2:30pm
What is today’s dream?
Something created, gone for
Fulfilled or not. Proud.
Intentions by Robert Rodriguez. February 6, 2022. Sunday 4:22AM
If I ever send love your way
nothing is ever expected in return
it is unconditional
and just means I care
you’ll be showered in appreciation
either way
Real love by Robert Rodriguez. January 14, 2022. Friday 12:57PM
In the depths of great sadness
I threw my hands in the air
There is nothing I can do!
It’s beyond my control!
The sadness was still there
but it was no longer great
All there is to do is wait
Leave it for time to decide…
And it did.

It’s almost the end of a new year
and things that were meant to be done
got put on the back burner
and sleep and self care
and fighting some sickness
was the focus
Setting boundaries
learning likes and dislikes
took precedent
so maybe a few things didn’t happen
but so many more important things…
did
To closing out a year by Robert Rodriguez. December 26, 2021. 12:53PM
The ups and downs
the spinning around
dancing on a cloud
gotta sit down
catch breath
only to be pulled back in
such is life I guess
gotta stand up to feel it
rest and recover
dance around with passion
live a life
have fun
breaks when needed
but don’t, don’t, don’t forget
have fun
because you never know
what’s to come
