Overcoming Lonely: Romantic ImproVerse Free Verse Lament

Maybe,
instead of bemoaning
the fact
that
she won’t call,
I should prepare myself
for someone who will
eagerly
reach out.

Perhaps,
instead of worrying
why I’m not
good enough,
I should make myself
better
for someone who is
not only awesome,
but who believes
that I am
incredible.

Because even though
I am,
maybe
I can be
more so.

And when I am
at THAT level,
it won’t matter
what I was
before,
nor
will it matter
how lonely I felt.

And as God is my witness,
I will never be lonely again!

Becoming Even More Awesomer: Revolutionary IMprov Free Verse

I believe I am growing
in my awesomeness.
I know what things I must do
to become even more awesomer.

So why, then, do I stand
in fear and awe
at the simple things
that lay,
like cowering dogs,
at my feet?

Simple phone calls,
forms to write,
files to submit,
questions to ask.

Why do I fear,
procrastinate,
and have the simple
make my life
more painful
and complex,
and let those
stumbling blocks
take away
opportunities
for Awesomeness,
instead of letting me
leap over them
and be out, standing
awesome
in my awesomeness?
