Happiness is a choice that you make
From within…it is something you create
It doesn't come from a prescribed pill
Dare I say, it comes from feeling fulfilled

Lizzy sat on the porch steps
wearing a flannel shirt and jeans
concealing skin clinging to bone...
by her side her faithful dog leans
...
After a sleepless night
Battling a losing fight.
Endless thoughts last…
Of the disturbing past.

Superman is a hero that many people revere
He performs Herculean feats that astound
He has incredible skills and strength, that is clear…
He reacts in a second with a leap and a bound
...
The air is thick with conversation
as a boastful voice proclaims
to be the most important by far
when comparing or dropping names
...
In the middle of the day
when all that is calm and steady
turns into a target for disarray
Enough with the clamor already
...
There was a time when it was shiny and new
Lincoln's copper appearance had a broad range
He had humble beginnings…he represented pride
Only to become a nuisance in a pocket full of change
...
Feeling estranged from my cultural identity
Born as an American…starting a new trend
My parents spoke Hungarian occasionally...
When they did not want me to comprehend
...
Wild weeds with chirping crickets
are proliferating the countryside
Far outside the busy city limits...
distanced from noxious herbicides
...
As the heart slows,
and breathing
becomes shallow
life hangs by a thread…
