Best Starting Over Poems

Seven ton's fell down that day.
Crushed my life and took you away.
Left me standing in a pile of rubble.
Still in shock, I'm afraid I'm in trouble.

Post traumatic shuffling of paper's.
A day in the life of the soul shapers.
Begins the journey to where, you don't know.
Starting...

The bird sheds the feathers,
    of Autumn's pain
Welcoming winter,
    with open wings
Scents change,
    with the new breeze...

Survival is a lesson in itself.
Treacherous lives have suffered treacherous abuse -
Only to find enlightenment from the wisdom of denial.
Reality of denial opens major change -
Lessons of starting over;
Lessons of perception;
Lessons of connection.
Connection brings help from others...
Recovering from separation from life itself.
Remain open to all...

Applications are done 
Relaxing under the sun  
High School tassels distant memory 
Senior prom night issues buried 
New relationships are the present worry 
Bringing stress with the luggage they carry 
Acceptance letter was received 
From number one school ‘would you believe?’ 
Leaving the state...

Long has it been since I’ve been content
Sacrifices I’ve made…
Dreams I’ve let stray…
Long has it been with wasted time spent

This emptiness has taken its toll
I need passion…
Love everlasting…
This emptiness kills my soul

Today I pledge a new course for life
Find my soul mate…
A woman to relate…
Today...

So, I'm starting over again,
Why is this thought in my brain,
That patterns repeat for everyone,
For me, good men appear to be none,
Control freaks take a sweet witch,
And turn her into a right *****,
You can't please bullies, let's say,
I suppose I'll learn that one day,
This pattern...

Starting over, nothing more.
Search the path that you explore.
Learn the things that put you there.
Remember how you went before.

The chosen path may not be fair,
And side-to-side cannot compare,
Make your own; stay on the trail.
Don’t turn around in great despair.

And when you live to tell the...

after leaving the shrink in question,
s/he pondered while walking down the street
outside her/his office,
wondering just what the next one would look like,
wondering just how long it would take
before s/he’d be rid of the next one &
why did it always go this way to begin with?
just...

what makes life worth living
what makes it exciting
it’s a different answer for us all
everyone has their own priorities
their own set of values

it’s never too late to rewrite a chapter
but opt not to build on sand
you’ll get washed up with tides
start over from nothing if you...

when all is lost 
it hurts depending on family and friends
stuck starting over from the bottom 
trying to work back up again
... 
with all my past experience
and for a man of my age 
being forced to work a kids position 
and must settle for miminal...

Sitting in an empty room it all begins to fit
The clarity comes rushing in more than I’d like to admit

The air is still and carries a familiar scent
The fragrant mix of failures and past torment

It’s simple really when I look from the outside
Of  course...

I allowed strangers to see my pain.
I cried tears while those pages were created.
I did not think about who would be hurt.
No one cared about how I felt.
I wrote my book to  free me from my past.
Closing the chapters once and for all.
I put...

I found you gal		
And felt so grand.
I placed a bet			
And played my hand.
But I was suckered		
By your bluff,
‘Cause what you offered	
Wasn’t love.

I still remember,		
Way back when,
You upped the ante		
Once again.
The stakes were higher	
Than I knew.
I lost my soul			
When I won you.

I’m gonna dry		
My tears of...

When he had gone off, Amos did come in,
Aaid, “I wish we didn’t have to lie to him”
Joanne just scoffed, “He’s kept me here six years,
rather than be man enough to cry tears.
Nearly ruined me, he too has much sin.”

Now ‘Gunther’ it seemed did much...
