Best Wasnt Poems
If it wasnt for poetryPoetry can be a critical liaison when words are fashioned,
that do not please the beholder's eyes.
I'm a poet without a pen, weaving woes on a digital canvas.
Forgive my rhyme-less heart, I've sinned in murky metaphors,
lost in my own sea of thoughts, with 3am rants...

While I Wasnt WatchingWhile I wasn’t watching
A child was taught to hate
While I wasn’t watching
The hungry were told to wait
While I wasn’t watching
The future was betrayed
I finally looked and saw that a generation had lost its faith
While I wasn't watching
Another species died
While I wasn't watching
Another mother cried
While I...

Forgiveness Wasnt Forgetting
Forgiveness wasn’t Forgetting
Written: by Miracle Man
12-2-2019
At seventeen I saw something,
that I’ve always regretted seeing.
Causing me to leave home early,
some wondering why I was fleeing.
Both parties have long since passed,
to whom this concerns.
But at times I see this picture,
that in my mind still churns.
This happening...

Lyric
The Boy Who Wasnt Ready To GrowAmidst of all the sorrow,
stood still a boy who wasnt ready to be the man he supposed to grow,
In the decaying dime for bitter crumbs,
Only the slickest minds could climb,
The rising wall of the Notre Damme.
He wasnt ready,no.not yet.
The timekeeper keep blowing the...

Ballad
Train, It Wasnt“Train”
What do I do when the train is coming?
I was standing on the track
My life flashed before me
As I thought, did I live like that?
Did I live my life in bondage?
Too afraid to share my dreams
Could have soared just like an eagle
But never used my...

I Wish It Wasnt OverOur love was like a lucid dream
I thought I was hallucinating, hooked on LSD
her looks were so intimidating
hearing the word "yes" seemed unlikely
her skin was warm like summer
love blinded me and I became much dumber...

I Am Sorry I Wasnt What You Truely Wanted...I am the lost soul of which hurt loves to crush
If you're quite enough you can hear my breathless scream
Hush...
When you told me those harsh words the scream was louder
Then you just blew me out of your life like I was powder
Gone....
If only you could...

To Remember What Once Wasntthe smoke after the black
the smell after the rain
to forget yet remember what the minds reclaimed
the seconds to times beginning
replaying the begging from the ending
to seeing the air black and white
the apology for the fight caused tonight
fro the see through mirrors
yet windows offline...

It Wasnt Disney Land For LongThe sunset was perfect in the best flawed sense that cool november evening
from the shores view I recall it in that sense I wish I could still erase.
Why does it always have to end like this she asked in that broken voice we all...

At the Time I Wasnt ReadyEmotional torment is what has conspired
From a decision I made and reality that transpired
A mistake so great only myself to blame
Unexpected pregnancy the guilt does remain
Trapped in abusive relationship no support id receive
Abortion the only option my loss to alone bereave
No maternal instinct no...

It Wasnt Meant To BeThe day I found out about you
I didn't know what to do
I broke down and cried
Because I knew I couldn't have you
I went home that night
more scared then ever
I fell asleep holding onto you
And you made me feel better.
I woke up...

If it wasnt for poetryHow would I have any idea what I think, if I couldn’t read my own poetry?
When I sit to write poetry, my mind transforms the blank screen into a flurry of words and then sometimes a story that I had never heard before emerges. ...

I Loved You, But Guess It Wasnt EnoughI loved you, but guess it wasn’t enough.
You acted like you loved me,
And wanted to be with me.
But it was all a lie,
You just wanted to use me.
I fell for your act too many times.
But I won’t fall for it any more,
Loved you, but...

Wasnt MuchMy words are like poetry in the north
I dont know especifically, I dont know that I think much
Sometimes I'm off in a trail
Sometimes I am beheaded twice or thrice
I loss my track, where I am heading?
Where your face's glows in a distance
Or maybe in...
