Best New Start Poems

Plans for life at prolonged range
Where everything is glebe strange. 

No more strain prompt from the past
I have concealed it fully at long last. 

Memories of mine for what I've been
I sanctified that filthy slate clean. 

Expeditiously, I will be among the few
I look forward to my hereafter new. 

Soon all flashback will get depart
I...

The familiar faces that I'll long to see.
                   The beauty of a place where my soul once laid.

Wading through flooded streets as hurricane rain poured
A man fell into the flow when sharp thunder roared
As a journalist reporting live from the scene
I saw lightning crack through the sky, heard the man scream

“Is he homeless?” I asked the emergency crew
The director shook his head; the answer he knew
“He lives in our park now, but...

Hold high the lamp to chase away,
The shadows dark that hide the way;
Lest sleep become an unwelcome guest,
That keeps you from you lonely quest.

The first step taken, a journey started,
Does not begin with the faint hearted;
Wipe the tears that live in the past,
And look to the future where light is cast.

The tireless quest has just...

A New Song a New Start
written by Magneeta Sojourner
As the day and weeks ran behind me
looking for the truth
no answers to my questions
though I’d sifted though it all
Breaking from the silence 
when nothing else would call
heard the echo of voices 
banging in my ears
No one can hear what is not
spoken out aloud
No one knows it”s...

Waiting for a new start
Hoping happiness will be a big part

Sadness I want to overcome
Sorrow that I will not succumb

Day after day wandering where I will stay
Searching for a place to keep the torment away

Night after night fighting the nightmares that bring such a fright
waking up and hoping things will be alright

As the sun is...

I try to imagine it being a reality,
A reality containing you and I.
Me being able to let you know,
I want you to know how I feel
With your undeniable body,
And my quite admirable touch.
Nothing would be strong enough,
Nope! Not strong enough to stop us.
Us? That is what clutches it all,
There is no us, nor could there...

each day
a new start
shower 
weigh
take the first step 
towards tomorrow
and 
a new start...

If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul he take
If for me morning does not come
I pray for life to some old bum
A new beginning
A new start
Another chance to do his part
If for his old ways, he shall return
For my life back, I shall yearn...

Just try to hurt me again and you'll see...
Now you can't play with me...
I'll get you out of my life-I'll get free...
You'll never feel the same-you'll never feel my pain..
I'm going away, and you'll never see me again...no..
You'll never hear my name..
I've been hurt so many times and now it is the end...Cause I'm done...

A smile on my face
	Bounce in my feet
Pep in my pace
	Heart feeling the heat

A smell of the roses
	Picnics at the park
Past all the poses
	This time it’s no lark

A smile in my heart
	Gifts from above
Perhaps my last new start
	Feels a lot like love...

In the morning light, I rise with a smile,
Life's turned around, it's been quite a while.
I used to carry a heavy heart's load,
But now, in my step, there's a skip and a glow.

The days once cloudy, filled with despair,
Have given way to skies so fair.
I'm just a young girl, no worries, you see,
Happier than ever,...

Look down;
 you are way better
 than many critters.

Look in the mirror;
you have more power 
and survived the tough hours 

Look at your home;
you are super duper,
you made this one special.

Look around; 
you are far better,
than many flimsy folks.

Now, stop crying and 
start relishing...
For the world is small... 
Very small...
But the joys abound,
all around.

Now, stop...

Shadows on the walls
Dark momories fill these halls
Here sits a boy with disregard for human laws
A boy who was made to be alone
He does so much better on his own
The ocean is the only place he feels at home
His rules are those of his heart
But his heart is dark because it was torn apart
He was...

Pain washes away
A soul is renewed
The darkness lifts 
And the light breaks through
After the storm comes a rainbow.....
