Peak Unsummited

Excellence unattained,

Excuses, excuses,

Lower the bar,

Lower the bar again.

When finally jump over

The lowered bar,

Peak unsummited

Looks down.

Sunk in self pity,

Rising frustration,

Life miserable.

Better to fail trying

Then daily dose of death.

One can con the world,

But lying to self?

Need to live

In a world

Without mirrors.

Perfection mirage,

Pursuit praiseworthy.

Shy&Blush:RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #187

You think he will blush
Lying his second nature
Sycophants not shy

*****
Even dead will blush
His utterances and white lies
Narcissist not shy

Choice

Choice to have a slow death
Lingering pain slowly sucking away
My last breath
While you rejoice
At the beauty of your lying creation
Of giving  everybody a free choice
You made sure that giving me
A choice I neither asked nor wanted
You and your cronies
Living in an alternate universe
Will line your pockets with riches
While I count my days
Burdened by your fake choices
