Look at me
and see all my flaws
my dark spots and wrinkles
moles and skin tags
Look at me
and notice my character
my fear of flying
my inability to speak up
tip toeing around
trying not to confront
Look at me
and still say
you love me.
EMBRACE the things I hate. Let go of these disturbing issues
and find a way to relate! I am a lost soul.
RESET, turn back time and wrestle through this bad karma of mine
reinvent me and be a...
GOOD INFLUENCE on the grandchildren, their husbands, and wives
and teach them about heroes in our lives.
SWITCH OFF hate radio! Since The Fairness Act left the
scene—It’s no longer entertainment—It’s vitriolic and obscene.
ACCEPTENCE is key. Without love it's empty insanity,
I want to be whole.
I'm lost, I don't know
What do I do now?
Where do I go from here?
Written word and silence will light my way
It's lonely not having the one person who I thought understood me
This a New Chapter in an Old Book
My heart hurts so bad
I knew this kind of love isn't something that could last
A person wasn't meant to feel that good all the time
Her last words will stick with me
We have no relationship whatsoever
Our kisses and time together meant nothing
My tearz and silence are comfort
Ending the Previous Chapter in an Old Book
The New Chapter will start with trying to forget her
Followed by wearing a misplaced smile
Understanding why will be a slow process
But acceptence will creep up the stretch
A place in my soul is where every memory of her will rest
Nobody will ever know about it
Nobody can understand
Only I can undo this knot inside
My soul will alwayz long for her
As the sun shines upon my face right now in November
Her memory fading with the sunset
The is the end of Her Chapter but it's a work in progress
Truth is truth and pain is pain both are burdens felt
Scars of darkness carried since a young child
Yesterday's gone
And yet it stays
Haunting screams of childhood from leather razor strap
That cut the flesh in burning welts of red
Beaten battered body lays in a heap
A terror-filled mind with its cold disdain
In my empty nights so silent
My soul releases all its tears
As I look back
When trust was lost
6/24/18 contest Fragmented Verse
sponsor Broken Wings-Dear Heart
Pity for the lost; joy with the found
Acceptence of alll races, sexes, etc.
Willing to communicate
The truth - and nothing else!
Solid rock in changing times
Stamping out pride; winning souls
Let go of all you love and learn to accept that all will be lost in time.
Receive whatever kindness is lucky enough to come your way;
Pay it back tenfold.
Don't fear eternal damnation,
Nor accept the mortality we live that is sewn with the ambiguity of our masters.
When you find purity and innocence do all you can to defend it.
Stand by with a smile and watch this world tear itself apart.
Time shall equalize us all.
I own my feelings
I own my thoughts
I own my actions
This I was taught
I own my guilt
I own my anger
I own my dreams
For this I'm the stranger
I own everything
That I personally am
This is me
And not some sham
You don't have to love me
Or like me the same
I just want acceptence
And not the blame
The ache of belonging to the heart of love
the little child ran around in despair
looking at every face,figuring out the eyes
the mind still cant understand how to find
level of acceptence,balance on the scale
good and bad just cant cancel all
so , on the journey of discovery he lost alot
childhood,adolence and than youth
and when finally he realised
what was lacking all the time
a moment passed and then came a sound
fell down with the weight of his finding
the world which is so wonderful outside
hearts and souls wear a veil all the time
they comes out of the shelter, the perfect land
with the plan to live on this plain
and all the moments he just wasted on nothing
he looked for what which was never there
All his life the shallowness looked for depth
which was here and yet was not there
so with a sorrow speneded the rest of his life
on the grief of understanding such a lie
