AprPAD Day 23 Prompt: Social______

SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS 

I often feel like 
An outsider looking in,
Not allowed to talk.
I'm not supposed to be there; 
Maybe I should just go home.

AprPAD Day 20 Prompt: Isolation



ISOLATION

In isolation
My mind begins to wander
Imagining worst
Case scenarios, dire ends
Even dying by myself.

In isolation
All I can think of is you
Being far away
Even though you're not that far
You're not where I can hold you.

In isolation
I hear the echos of life
Growing feint each day 
As time steals special moments
Which will never be returned.

AprPAD Day 11 "Control"

I NEED ANSWERS

I have some questions
For whoever runs this show
Who is in control
Of the lies and omissions
Delays, mistakes and red tape?

Pettiness leaves us
With no real guidance at all
We need answers now!
So stop with the name calling
While numbers are increasing.

AprPAD Day 8 The Future





TOMORROW

I've never felt so 
Confused about the future
But these days I wake
And I have no idea
What tomorrow will bring me.
