Deep in the night,
As everyone falls asleep;
I find myself awake and alone
With a perfect promise to keep.
I keep on thinking
Of the words so comforting;
As I find myself alone
With a pen to do the writing.
In broad daylight,
As the sun shines so bright;
Yes, I find myself alone,
Seeking sentences to write.
After searching for the love,
For the rest of my life;
I still find myself alone
With my one and only wife.
Yes, no man is an island,
Sitting in the silent sea;
But the island is beautiful
For all the people to see.
Between lasting peace
And serenity that I've known;
I'll stand gladly without fear,
I'll always find myself alone.
No man is an island
But all fingers ain't equal
Desperation cuts a man's life short
Determination opens doors
If you want to be great
You better start to create
God will never bestow on you
What you can't control or behold.
A baby born today
Can't chew or walk the same day
Fast is cool, if you can get through it
Slow takes time, but the journey is worthwhile
The clock ticks second and minute then hour
Season comes after another
One generation before another
Time always makes the difference.
You see why we have calendar
Because there's always time
So why settle for dime
Or move faster than time
I would like to say more
But when words are too much
It becomes void, many will avoid the message for the pleasure.
No man is an island they say
Still, amidst this crowd and noise I feel lonely
I badly want someone to talk to
But words don’t come easy
Millions of things are running in my head
But my lips find it hard to utter
As I tossed and turned in my bed
Also wondering what really matters
I try to find the courage to fight
Trying to tell myself “It’s gonna be all right”
Hoping in time everything will be okay
But in the end, loneliness still finds me
In this eerie and cold prison
Darkness is my constant companion
And that loud voice that becomes my friend
It keeps telling me “I’m beyond broken which nobody can ever mend”
It’s a daily reminder of a failure that I am
That I have no choice, not even a chance
And redemption is something I cannot hold with my hand
And I should just keep doing this silly dance
I want to get out but I feel weak
I’m getting used to this losing streak
Should I give up and stop struggling?
Should I continue to put on a mask that’s laughing?
My head feels light as my chest feels heavy
No voice came out as I cry for help. “Please... somebody!”
I feel so helpless as this darkness envelops me
And let the monster in my head consumes me slowly
From this ongoing battle I want to be free
From this pain, this chaos, and this misery
And so I kneel down, before you I humbly pray
"My GOD, I have forgotten you. I was proud, forgive me.”

Something I can’t explain
They wonder how I keep writing
They wonder why I keep asking why
They see the question marks
Yet they prefer to judge me
instead to see my Pains
I refuse to live in confusion
Cos my life portrait is full of revelations unexplainable
There are things that can never change
Parts of this things are still killing my people in Africa
Part of this things is still destroying the third world
There is nothing new to say
The world is open for we all to see
What do you see my friends
If you look deeply
you can see those things that
Can never change
A lot of them are not a-line with humanity
Am not here to preach cos there are
Somethings I can’t explain
We live we die
We come we go
Time come time go
No man is an island
The world is our planet
Freedom is a human right
Life is only beautiful with love
Something I can’t explain
A lot is happening in the world
We can all see how the world is changing
Some are catching up
Some are falling below the race line
Some are dead already
Some can’t even move
We all have a burden to share
Yes cos when it rains it fall on everyone’s roof
Our destiny still remain in our hands
If we could change the things
That are so long unchangeable
If we can call back peace to our planet
It will answer
If we can call back love it will come
If we can play fair to one another
Life can be a heaven for all
I once said am not here to preach
The world knows the truth
cos there are
Something I can’t explain
We live we die
We come we go
Time come time go
No man is an island
The world is our planet
Freedom is a human right
Life is only beautiful with love

The ticking on my wrist,
start to show my age,
and what could have been,
some memories worth dumped by the roadside. Time is of no essence to me now.
Been pondering,
even these walls starts suffocating me.
Been counting,
with these fingers of mine,
they too can't comprehend my outstanding life expectations.
Someone said 'no man is an island'.
It's getting way too quiet in here,
even my own voice is starting to spook me.
Allow me to be human, to err and learn from my own imperfections, allow me to flop, to account and acquire a thick skin to say my yesterday has shaped me into what I am today.
I wanna let go, peel off, all the pain, loss, betrayals and conditional time I was fed by those who promised they would never leave me. Those who said they were my forever.
I wanna say I love you without blinking nor stuttering, I wanna give in my all, jump in with both my eyes closed, my heart willing and my soul at ease . I wanna fearlessly say my mind, pour in my whole heart, without fearing to be questioned, without being doubted, without someone second guessing my intentions.
I wanna say I do, without being asked why, I wanna recite more of us in every word jumping off my mouth, in every greeting, in every gratitude giving, in my every prayer and smile. Thats all I want

Bird in a guilded cage, a broken heart, a solitary soul
Road less travelled, a soul full of longing, my heart bleeds
On a wing and a prayer, my heart is a lonely hunter, a weary soul
Kiss the rose, look into my eyes
Endless words, my heart laid bare
No man is an island, tears fall like rain
Words that were left unspoken, over and over again
It's never too late to change, wish upon a star
Near and dear to my heart, when all is said and done
Give it a whirl, as time passes by, my soul is weeping, weeping
Stop and smell the roses, till the end of time

I am a woman and I'm not trying to speak on behalf of men with my poem...
But, I do know many men are struggling...
Today more than ever... And I wanted my guy friends to know that I love and support them and that I don't expect them to be tough...
I hope that they know they can be themselves and that needing help and speaking about your feelings isn't a weakness...
Take care and best wishes... Be gentle with yourself and others...
"No man is an island." ~ John Donne
To be a man...
By Michelle Morris
10/11/2020
To be a man in a world turned upside down,
Trying to support your family and keep your business around is a constant battle, especially when we're living scattered...
To be a man in a male dominated society,
Being expected to always stay strong -
Never showing weakness to avoid being pounced upon...
To be a man setting an example for his children,
Trying to show integrity, feelings and reason;
It's overwhelming to so often be criticised that you don't know how to be anymore in front of society's eyes...
To be a man should only be a need to be yourself; finally free and able to ask for help;
For we are all deserving of kindness, love, support and respect...
For we are all human, lest we forget...

Good leaders cannot agree about world order
Yet many believe freedom is indivisible
Privileged tolerance then shall foil fool's fancy
If freedom is intrinsic in the human race
Will we agree it is a right for everyone
Are all fated for forever to find freedom
Why do some seem more worthy than distant others
Are we not basically best brothers and sisters
Seeing the future of our species all be free
While we all are dependent islands for freedom
We are still surely part of the main, just the same
Where are the wise who will make courageous comment
The battleground of the collective over self
Bloody wars have been blindly waged for eons
Solemn, silent gifts from the divine unanswered
The best citizens are citizens of the world
Is it true everyone shall think this way someday
Better angels can change nationalist egos

It’s the respect you give
It’s also the encouragement and how you think positive
You make me laugh and we have fun
I am blessed for your friendship among
We inspire one another
We know how to be ourselves like no other
We get along quite well
It’s noticeable and people can tell
There are two sayings, “No Man is an Island and Man can’t live on bread alone”
Our friendship let this be shown
Friendship is something where one must adapt
It’s not something that comes from an app
Yet you won’t find on any map
There will be times of in difference
But that is what makes friendship unique
Friendship is something everyone should keep
But at the same token there should not be lies of deceit
Friendship is about truth
It might start within your youth
Yet trust is a must
I value you friend
It extends until the very end
Yes this is how our friendship began
Interest at heart
Togetherness making a mark
Our friendship has blossomed like the season spring
But the thought being one thing, “Our friendship began from day one
I am glad we are still among
This is why I call you friend
When I need you it’s words of can.
The Fugitive
He’s now subdued and has health issues.
He was once in a dysfunctional marriage.
He’s presently in a stable relationship.
He’s more responsible and doesn’t drink like he use to.
He’s a gentleman, and no longer beats and abuses women.
Once a dead beat dad; he’s now trying to be a good father.
Once like an enemy to me; but now, he’s civil and a friend.
But there was a long journey before entering the road to civility.
He had prior criminal offenses before I ever came to know him.
Serving time for his crimes did little to alter his bad behavior.
He disturbed my family’s peace, and the peace of my neighbors.
The law did not protect anyone from the destruction of his disturbed soul.
He refused to surrender to law enforcement to face the music for his crimes.
Becoming a fugitive from justice, he fled the continental United States, and
remained so for some five years.
No man is an Island, and at some point, we all get caught.
He has now paid his debt to society, and his running days are over.
