Best Day After Day Poems

You tend to say hurtful things,
acting like a soul possessed.
And try resurrecting fears
time has long ago repressed.

You can't relate to pity;
for bullies exploit the meek.
And it feels good to demean
those who turn the other cheek.

I see someone who's hurting;
using drugs to numb their pain.
And a...

There’s places and faces where I’ve never been
some of them laughing and living in sin
Some of them hurting from being alone
And the places seem part of my own
The rhythm is flinging these words in my head
Against walls that refuse to be bled
Riding on nightmares through...

day after day...it gets deeper and it's darker since you went and flew away
my most beautiful bird with rarest feathers
now you're flying with the wind...unafraid of stormy weather
now i long for the lies that spewed from your lips
i long for sweet sin where we'd both...

she lived on the hill and kept to herself
and everyday came and went
with me wondering if i should go knock at her door

not today
not today
maybe tomorrow

She looks down in the hole, freshly dug in the cold January ground
Maybe she should  jump or maybe just let herself fall?
She screams over and over again but no one, even god,  hears the calls
She asks over and over why take him from...

Life is so precious

We live it each day

Yet little by little

It just fades away

From the time 

That were born

Till the day that we die

Life comes and goes

And we watch it pass by

Does it cross your mind

How you spend your time

Are you helping someone

Are you loving...

As I reach for these stars
And as I seek these seas
I wonder if I could have seen 
What you had truly meant to me

When I first saw your face 
When I looked into your eyes
I wished to never leave this place
I wished there were no...

Life’s not all fun and games, no sir -
even war games under the waxing sun.

Cock-a-doodle-doo day after day
as the ground gives way to waves.

And we wave goodbye, have another cry,
blame the other guy, don’t even try

to figure out the way to God’s heart.
After all, your...

The shadow in your eyes 
the darkness your disguise
let the people see
the beauty that is thee
your smile brings me to life
makes nightfall turn to light
and day after day after day after day
my shadows fly away


Dont let them compromise my faith
for the sake of private conversations
hold...

Day after day, year after year
Through the laughter and the tears
The mud becomes comparable to the water
Mere substance suitable to asphyxiate
Gives the means to claim a place beside
The ones no longer here
And whisper in your ear
There’s no need to cry
No need to be afraid

Minute after...

Day after Day, Father I question my life
Where I wet went wrong will it ever be right

Will I rise, Will I fall? 
Stand tall..........Continue asking, but I'm knowing only God know

Growing up in the repping "hard knock",I never knew nothing too much about drugs
My only...

Day after day
And every night
Alone in the shadows 
I lye here in bed
Slowly - dying

I close my eyes
To keep from crying
Cause I feel all this pain
But hold it inside
Cause I can not mend
All those wounds you fed

And all of those memories
Of you I wish to...

Day after day I sit alone 
In silence I feel deepest sorrow 
Remembering the love you have shown
And wondering if I will feel it tomorrow
Night after night I lay in bed
Crying myself to sleep
Listening to the doubts in my head
Feeling loss so steep
Knowing I haven't...

Whoops. Mariners lost 
again yesterday.

to God we would pray
make Mariners better play
do day after day

empty is each store
are not around anymore
rich replaced by poor

what we would suggest
have gained much growing unrest
failed to pass each test

threw curve with a spin
my Mariners lost again
when should win win...

Day after day, impossibilities do imprison the world
For many times, what I notice is the world falling apart
Haunted by the pain people ferry around,
Friends trying to grab trending practices to pass the test
But, again and again, what keeps me blooming,
Is what I acknowledge, … Heaven...
