Best Causing Hurt Poems
Gather around the sacred fire, my children
Let the embers' glow spark your curiosity
as we begin on this journey together;
to the time of how things once were,
to the time of how things came to be
In the beginning,
there was no war, only peace
There was no hate, only love
Harmony existed between all things,
it was the age when the eagle flew alongside the dove
Now the eagle lived high in the cliff of a great mountain,
and the dove lived in the lush valley below
And the seasons continued unabated,
from the summer's heat to the winter's snow
Then one day as the eagle sat, perched high atop his domain,
an evil thought entered his heart,
that only he alone over everything should reign
He felt because he was the most powerful bird,
his voice should always have the final word
So he gathered the other birds together,
to have them agree to make him their chief
The falcon and the hawk said they liked the idea
The raven and the owl said lets not be so hasty
The debate went on for days,
and the eagle grew restless with each passing hour
Until the stork delivered him a message,
during one spring early morning shower
The message said that the dove and the swan,
never came to a meeting, no not once
Thus, the eagle flew down to the edge of the pond,
and asked the swan about his absence
The swan said such matters concern him not,
let he who rule, let him rule just
As for the whereabouts of the dove, the swan said
he was in a cove by the big tree with the chestnuts
The eagle went and confronted the dove,
and accused him of stalling his coronation oblation
The dove replied with a gentle reproof,
saying to go down this wicked path will divide the earth into two nations
One will love war, and the other will love peace
One will hate killing, and the other will hate mercy
One will love freedom, and the other will love slavery
One will hate healing the pain, the other will hate causing hurt and misery
The eagle got angry at what the dove had to say,
and they no longer flew together after that day
So now you know, children, the story of the eagle and the dove
Which will you choose?
Will you choose to love hate,
or choose to live the peaceful way
Will you choose to hate love,
or choose to possess the spirit of a dove
There is a certain sad quality
To the overwhelming sensitivity
With which offers much reality
Of course then subsequently
Causing hurt feelings with cruelty
Emitting out such animousity
Against a soul with such frailty
Will cause a certain casualty
With winners left behind spiritually
Cold as a stone internally
And blind as a bat visually
While the fragile soul will soar endlessly
Far, far away from all the negativity
Do you remember when a day felt like a year
and stealing from the cookie jar was the biggest crime?
We'd gaze up at constellations, both far and near,
whilst catching fireflies, come May or June ... wasting time.
And stealing from the cookie jar was the biggest crime,
knowing heavenly eyes were watching from the clouds.
Whilst catching fireflies, come May or June, wasting time;
never letting dreams be dreams --- yet look at me now!
Knowing heavenly eyes were watching from the clouds,
adrift, I became, refusing to let go of childhood,
never letting dreams be dreams. Yet look at me now -
trying to find the conclusion to the phrase: If I could ...
Adrift, I became, refusing to let go of childhood:
a time where no matter what, we were better together.
Trying to find the conclusion to the phrase: If I could,
but no use, I'm in a cocoon, fearful of the weather.
A time where no matter what, we were better together,
gazing up at the same holes to heaven, finding comfort.
But no use, I'm in a cocoon, fearful of the weather,
afraid my tears will turn into a monsoon, causing hurt.
Gazing up at the same holes to heaven. Finding comfort
by looking up, because there was no other way.
Afraid my tears will turn into a monsoon, causing hurt,
sitting, waiting, wishing, for a reason to stay.
By looking up because there was no other way -
just the nighttime sky, hanging so high, and you and your heart.
Sitting, waiting, wishing, for a reason to stay
in the present. My little girl takes me back to the start ---
Just the nighttime sky, hanging so high, and you and your heart;
we'd gaze up at constellations, both far and near.
In the present, my little girl takes me back to the start:
do you remember when a day felt like a year?

certaintly we don't think of the reprocussions before we fall in love
hardly ever do we consider that soon we will become a has been
love of a lifetime never does that really last
with two broken hearts we distracts one another into believing we were
through the trials and tribulations pain and sadness we become immune to the way of love
we overcome many obstacles and triumph over fears
in that moment our hearts are broken our whole world ends
like a burning to the flesh it scars us in and out
yet through time we pick up the pieces and move on
flipping that switch from lovers to strangers immediatly the romance ends
we go back and forth to causing hurt and tonight someone cry's
remembering the days when love filled the air and completed our whole being
today it's gone and sadness took over leaving us singing that old love song
our eyes remain blind and the truth we hide because in denial is where we feel safe
we all say we give up one time time or another and swear we don't want any other
before we can blink we get hit with the arrow and the circle begins again...
inner feelings race round my brain
not always happy, some causing hurt,
tender moments lost in the past
resurrected each passing hour.
oh how I long for inner peace,
so I stop and try to recount the moments...when
passion turned to despair.
easily drowned in hopes anew
can I can't I, which side will the coin fall.
this not knowing not even caring
in which I lose myself
only for these thoughts to raise their head
nightly when at my rest.

Angered by the system
Imprisoned by fate
Filled with emotion
Outlined with hate
Every minute with him
Is a moment filled with pain
A father causing hurt
A child labeled insane
Picking at every wound
Determined to make him bleed
Father giving orders
Son longing to be free
Father swings in anger
Son hits back in rage
Father walks away free
Now son is in a cage
He wants to do the right thing
And live by all the rules
The law forces him to stay
How could they be so cruel?
He is no longer a child
He’ll be tried as an adult
Not allowed to make a choice
Though he’s allowed to vote
His father will not let him leave
Or do the things he wants
Tied by the laws of man
Tortured by fathers taunts
His mother wants to help him
She hasn’t the means
Witnessing as an outsider
In this horrible scene

The sacred earth, the mother to all beings is
Sustaining countless creatures; since epochs
Without any unfairness what so ever known
Allows them to survive on their own strength.
Complex lives arose; then after a long time
Humans survived fittingly against many odds
Establishing themselves indisputably firm and
Putting forth their claim as masters; craftier.
Then they commenced their appalling act
Of steadily eliminating the hoarier beings
In their diabolical quest for their pleasure
Began causing hurt to dear Mother earth.
Her voiceless and the innocent offspring
Have now become feeble and vulnerable
Facing their extinction imminent speedily
Thanks to evil activities of mean humans.
Let not homo-sapiens claim exclusive title
For the earth, the universe, belongs to all
The good way of living on the sacred earth
Is gentleness towards all the beings around.
Why do you always scream and yell
Putting everyone through hell
That crosses your path of shame
Always taking on the blame
That you dish out when you feel
Life is getting way to real
And you can't cope with painful days
So you find extreme bad ways
To release the built up pressure
But it doesn't make it lesser
Your just causing hurt and anguish
Which won't disappear or vanquish
Until help is being sought
With these tensions being fought
That are building more and more
Take a breath, stop, and be sure
To calm down and be relaxed
Don't let feelings attack
And take over way too long
Find a peaceful inner song
That will bring you to a place
Of happiness that will grace
Your days with joy. love, and cheer
Instead of all the bad despair
That others have always seen
Now you can start fresh and clean
Showing a new side of you
That will spread a lifetime through
My way was getting so far lost
Confusing and just way off course
Not sure where I took a turn
That was a mistake and wrong
Trying to find a right way back
But I just kept getting smacked
Knocked down every single time
There is no reason or rhyme
Why the path is always blocked
Entrances are closed and locked
No admittance anywhere
I need someone to help me clear
A area area to cross
That wont leave me at a loss
Why is my world in a spin
Over and over again
There's always something after me
This can't be my destiny
Days and weeks are going by
I'm still asking myself why
This never ending torturous
Evil's causing such havoc
On my soul going insane
Never causing hurt or pain
I've been good and kind to others
Now dark clouds surround and smother
Every second, every minute
Of my life that I am in it
Praying for freedom I hope
This downhill, slippery slope
Will soon stop, I'm sent a sign
I can step over the line
Walking out of darkened shadows
Into brightly colored meadows

The day I met him first, a voice in side me said
Stop looking here and there; he is right in front of you
The love that you were missing, now in your life has come
Embrace him with your heart and say to loneliness adieu
He painted lovely pictures, with flowers and with dove
With rays of golden sun and rainbows big and crimson
He filled the world around me with happiness and fun,
Contentment, joy and bliss, with him every thing I won
Than came a gloomy day, of which I had never dreamt
To pledge his love for me, he said was a big mistake
Causing hurt and pain to me was not really his intent
What happened was unfortunate and sorry for the ache
I begged do not to leave me, as for me you are my world
Don’t break my tender heart, please don’t leave alone
But he turned his face away, and said I was insane
My dreams have all been shattered, day and night I moan
To everyone around me, I may appear clam and quite
Nobody can imagine the emotional volcano inside
A heart full of grief and sorrow, still wishes for a miracle
Desperately praying, get back my love or still better if I died.
With human nature flaws --- marked by sins and errors
God’s forgiveness I seek from angst of guilt terrors…
Midst divine standards required for holy worship
Christ’s forgiveness I ask toward blest fellowship…
Admitting my failure against temptation flight
The Lord’s forgiveness-grace I receive to do what’s right…
Assured with forgiveness whenever I confess*
My heart delights in the Pardoner I profess…
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, now forgiven
My soul --- thanks HIM --- eternally bound to heaven…
Trusting the Almighty Father’s forgiveness grant
My faith practices it, feeling exuberant…
Recipient of the Saviour’s forgiveness-wonders
I share precious gifts filled with Bible reminders…
Having offended someone, causing hurt and pain
Forgiveness I beg, claiming restoration gain…
Glad forgiveness my spirit offers with hope’s glow
Knowing the peace it grants along victory flow…
Celebrating forgiveness triumphs ends my day
As love of God prevails, surmounting evil way.
*1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he (GOD) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I Wasn't Put in this World
For You to Hurt and Abuse
I Know I'm Here for a Reason
But It's Not to Ignite Your Short Fuse
You Say You Love Me So Much
And Without Me You Have No Life
Well, Something You Should Understand
I Am Not the Enemy I Am Your Wife
You Love Me for Awhile,
Then Something Changes Inside
Your Personality Becomes Ugly
Causing Hurt I Can't Abide
But Mark My Words for Reference
Please Mark Them Very Well
The Day Will Surely Come
When I Say.."You Go Straight to Hell"
There's too much for me to count
The excessive large amount
The love in my heart can't be
Contained, I'm setting it free
All across this great big land
Reaching out a caring hand
To anyone who needs a friend
To lift them back up again
Harmony and peace I give
I really just want to live
In a world with no more hate
Starting with a brand new slate
Erasing all the hateful vibes
Some people keep down inside
Coming out causing destruction
I want to form an obstruction
Blocking out the bad and pain
Flowing in the awful veins
Of the people who don't care
They're causing hurt everywhere
Banning together we can make
This whole world a safer place
Stopping mean creeps before they
Destroy the work we've done today
Slowly the world will be fine
One kind action at a time
"I saw the smile that had left her face.
sadness leaving her eyes.
hearing voices of painful words that i
knew were lies.
She walked away with her head down.
tears she tries so hard to hide.
a world so ugly with cruel intentions &
her heart broken in two inside.
offering a smile and my own friendship.
to show her not all people are mean.
cruelty is something that needs to end,
but somehow it can cause a scene.
So think before you act causing hurt in
a tarnished reflection.
a true friend will never let a smile go.
a true friend will always give protection"
