Best Childhoodmay Poems
A tear may fall to the depths of your heart.
It may tear you completely apart
as your body racked with sobs convoluting,
begs for soft comforting words, soothing
mind spattered brain
waves, again and again.
Explosive neurons firing
negative
feedback
to the nerve system wiring,
inter-acting
to each muscle
contracting.
The avalanche follows
wetting the hollows
of the eyes,
and overflows.
Everyone knows
the embarrassment
coming to stem the flow of tears,
increasing our awareness in later years
to not make the same mistake again
for fear of bringing back the pain.

For Paula's "Tear" contest
My Mother means the world to me. She has struggled in life. Faced many obstacles. Yet
she is as strong as the wind. My mother I BLAMED. I was wrong for this. I hope she can
forgive me. So much time we missed.
Shes so kind and caring. Loving and sharing. Always there in times on need. God blessed
her with seven, sent down from heaven. I truly love you.
Yes you hurt me and broke my heart. You tore my life apart.
We have a strange relationship. We may not be so close but at least we have a mutual understanding.
I cant forget but I can forgive. You may never understand me but I am who I AM.
We're teaching our kids lessons,
that they would learn anyways
Why not teach them knowledge,
that they may never find out
The aspects of life that we examined,
stumbled upon in the moment
A lit firefly in the aphotic night,
that may never come across again
To teach them how to think,
instead of what to memorize
A robotic soul caught in the headlights,
programed to see what the world wants
Philosophies that goes beyond childhood,
that matures us into adults
An old book of a heart's fantasy,
Growing wiser with time
That they can control who they are,
and not loose all they have gained
A train derailed on the tracks,
steaming and puffing down to oblivion
