Sept 2024
Product release crunch time pressure.
I find myself capable and confident.
Late night coding.

Failure

You find some trouble and stall
Victim life's difficult
Won't own a mistake, just moan
It's carved on your grave stone
At first I didn't succeed
I tried and tried; still believe
What I control focused in mind
Stumbling blocks a stair to climb
Movember
First she was happy, then unimpressed.
A flat stare, her displeasure laid bare.
A part of me she loved, now shorn away.
And with it, my sex life this month -
no good deed goes unpunished these days.
The world has need of men who are good.
Even, wise, brave, and just as they should.
In it's place, something new and bold grows,
A defiant symbol she thinks is gross.
Fathers, brothers, friends.
A beard's a small loss, it will grow back in the end.
This moustache is grown for the sake of good men.
