Life Story Poems

My Life story

Whom are you following and pleasing, and bowing
Jesus, Jesus, we call, proclaim as spiritual beings 
Read the Bible that shows our actual level of living 
Rented in a worldly habitation, owns nothing 
Pride within destroys the inner spirit prevailing
Self-righteous judgment is a scheme of the devil confronting
 
God of peace compels us to seek peace
Love

  The story of my journey has many pages. 
          I open to a one that is yellowed, old,
  crumbling.  Oh, that park at the end of our street,

3 Copper Coins, And The Kite Caught In The Telegraph Wire

The man was
handsome, intelligent,
and good in bed.

But he just
had nothing
to say.

And all of his days
were the same.

Monochromatic
introspection followed
by a sort of smothered
self-expression.

He never
felt like himself.
And he always felt
worried about what
other people thought
about him.

Who even was
he?

His routine?
His career?
His interests?
His beliefs?

Beliefs?

The man had
no beliefs, the
man didn’t need
to believe.

For if he started believing
in something, he may have
actually needed
to

My life’s story is a lonely tale only my faith enabled strung. 
I moved too much to belong anywhere or keep a friendship knit.
The hurts as an army brat continued when grown to render me stung.
Just core family love constantly soothed my tears and aided my grit.
Lonely hits always made me wonder why He sent

This Is My Life Story

I've been told a whole bunch of stuff,
Of who I am and who I'll be. 
I'm not really sure why you think,
You know me so well inside and out. 
You make me think bad of myself, like 
I'm to be ashamed of who I've become. You've
Made me cry myself to sleep, made me see the

Premium MemberAn Engineer - PS

Started high school days, with science and math, 
Dreaming of becoming an engineer's chosen path, 
Time flew by, engineering degree achieved, 
No time for novels or poems, I believed.

Limited vocabulary, science fiction in my hand, 
Never thought poetry would be part of my plan, 
Married life changed, loneliness took hold, 
Expressing pain at 60, stories

Premium MemberAnd that my dear is a poem

Many do not love my direct way
They shy from the truth

many just loved my looks 
in my happy youth

some liked the achievements i had and wanted in on my fame
And some thought what I did for a living was kiddie stuff and kind of lame

So it's a conundrum you see, when you talk about me
It's

Your Own Life Story

Don't make your life all about other person
Leave a chapter for your own life story
Life is too short just to scourge out of reason 
Pave instead your right way to glory

a lifetime of memories in a box
each one setting her heart aglow
o~ how the years rushed by
the names the joys never losing their luster
even the hard times had their upside
we survived and for it became stronger
and so the wheel of life moves on

I remember…

Being 3 and crying, screaming
Because my mommy was leaving
For a day at work, … dreaded hours
As loneliness for her fell like black
Rain drenching me in awful rejection

I remember…

Being 6 and climbing out of bed
At dawn to finally ride the big yellow bus
Enter the planet of kindergarten
Where I would discover rich, new things
And play harder

Premium MemberA Life Story

Let me tell you a story……..
Nothing new under the sun really.
Happened many times.

Autumn flourished and Christmas was near.
Hark, the bells tolled.
The womanizer discovered love.
Too late.
For now she died much too quick.

Friends rally round.
Especially Lisa, his illegitimate daughter.
All in vain.  For now his love is dead.

A year passed. 
He stood near a window
as fluffy snow

Story of My Life

Why do I continue with this book
the chapters either deadly dull
or all the action occurring at once
in an overwhelming cascade of events
that muddles the mind
too complex to keep up with
impossible to sort out the storyline
rendering me confused and stupefied
A tedious and tiresome tragedy
The plot painfully predictable
yet I persevere through every page
pensive, apprehensive for the conclusion
that
