To forgive is human too
Of what use again is my tear to you?
I plead, I cry, I try to soothe with care,
Yet you ignore me, and call me a fraud.
I know I betrayed your wholehearted love—
But if to err is human, then to forgive is human too.

Darling, paint the eyes
Every morning I paint a pair of eyes
to see the world for me—
Mines scream at
the sky fracturing into neon glass.
The dazzling eyes I painted—
I use them to fit in
the crowd dancing in chemical haze
—reasons left out at the gate.
I use them to study
the rites of smoke
—to ghost myself in every exhale.
I use them to ignore

Shock!
unreal, unshaken disbelief.
Choice!
the people spoke,
democracy breathes.
What was promised—
a mirage,
a lie.
False hopes built to divide,
now shattered,
leaving many wide-eyed,
denied,
unrecognized,
lost in the wreckage of the unexpected.

A reckoning.
A trauma.
A truth too sharp to ignore.

Thoughts From Above
Hey make yourself available to the Lord
He can't bless you if
He has to chase you more and more
Don't ignore His affection
And don't ignore His love
He'll have you sit beside Him
He'll share His thoughts from up above

You ignore your Soul's cries Becoming frozen in resistance
You ignore your Soul's cries
(Becoming frozen in resistance)
By Michelle Morris
12/11/2024
You'd rather lose the girl
Than become a better man
You're "happy" to be set in your ways
Be rigid, controlled and bland
You ignore your Heart's voice
You ignore your Soul's cries
You keep it all under Lock and Key
For you think that's where Safety lies
But I've got news

Whisper
Hear a Zephyr,
A Whisper.
Nothing lasts through eternity.
Except for a Zephyr,
A Whisper.
Confusingly, they don’t want to see.
Block out the Zephyr,
The Whisper.
Why do they focus on what will no longer be?

Who are you to ignore me now? You hurted me, I just
Please just stay there.
By the side.
Following up with some hi's,
or maybe not.
Just don't feel shaken up,
I tried to zip myself in a warm clothing,
because you put up my silly hat above my head,
which I didn't notice,
I thought you patiently just searched footage,
It's just,
everyones eyes got bigger.
My fingertips have gained

Sunrise
Smile while you can, with every given day.
Under this beautiful sky is your own paradise.
Nature welcomes you when you appreciate yourself.
Reach the top of your "Aura", don't fall into the emptiness.
Ignore the superficial and the bad vibrations.
Sacrifice your life squeezing the best of you.
Earth is the place we know, our heaven to be embraced to.

The House
Why can't they fix the roof that is leaking onto me
How about the gutters full of holes for all to see
My windows no one can see out of,I wish a real estate agent could find me new buyers
When people ring my doorbell I cannot hear it because it doesn't work
But when I complain they say

You Must Ignore the Duck
We have one hard rule at our dinner table.
Don’t pay extra attention to the duck said Mable.
I had no idea what this meant, but my hunger was at stake.
They were having a dessert of pineapple upside down cake
So I agreed to not pay any attention to the duck
She sat next to me on the table

If You Can Ignore the Hen
If you can ignore the hen, the date will be fine.
She was not sure what this cryptic message meant.
He arrived with a hen on his head, ready to dine.
Like others, her heart immediately turned to cement.
She made an excuse and left quickly enough.
Like all the others, he told his disbelieving brother.
He never tired of talking

Ignore
Insult me, I may get angry,
Love me, I will be very happy,
Hate me, I may love you,
Ignore me, I will be crushed.
I exist, No one sees me,
I wait, everyone sees thru me,
I hope, someone will find me,
I suffer, the pain of being ignored suffocates me.
I speak, No one seems to listen,
I shout, the echoes bounce

Ignored
I exist, No one sees me,
I wait, everyone sees thru me,
I hope, someone will find me,
I shout, the echoes bounce back on me,
Ignore me, I will be crushed,
Love me, I will be very happy.
