That night was a long and lonely night
A night to be much remembered
It was the right she said no to me
No to the love and affection I had for her
As i sat down reflecting on that
The words she said to me came to mind
She said "baby am sorry, sweetheart it's all over"
It was a night like never before
It was a night of long knives
I gathered the shred pieces of my heart
And I told myself it may be the end of us
but it was not the end of the world
I better get hold of myself and get moving
With a mended heart there are many possibilities
The night she said no became a watershed in my life
(Written 1st of September 2026)
When you've tried everything you could,
And you can't hold on any longer
When you've pushed yourself too hard,
And now you can't breathe
Just let go
It's not easy and it doesn't get any simpler,
Sometimes you want to stay and endure
But there are days you'll feel all your energy being consumed
You'll feel torn and discouraged,
So just let go
It's not the end of the world,
Life must move on
Take a simple step and just live like never before
Because sometimes it's not worth staying
It's better to let go
I promise it will hurt,
The tears will surely burn
Until your eyes run dry
But at the end of the day you'll be fine
Cause it was easier to let go
Just let it go,
It takes days to heal
But a lifetime of regrets having made the wrong decision
If its a question about your happiness
Then just let it go.

Have you ever taken time to look at me in the eye?
Have you seen the emptiness - the darkness ?
Baby, if you can only open your eyes you can see
I’m dying inside - crying
I’m shy
I’m alone
I’m unknown
I’m a mess
I’m depressed
I’m sad
I’m alone
All you need is to hold me tight
I’m scared of myself now.
My love
If someone doesn’t want me
It’s not the end of the world
But
If you don’t want me
The world is ending nothing else.
Decaphobia – fear of number 10, perhaps because the Roman numeral X is 10
Xinoaxphobia – fear of the letter X not to be confused with xenophobia
Xenophobia - fear of strangers or foreigners often confounded with
Xenonosocomiophobia – fear of foreign pickpockets sometimes correlated with
Xanthophobia – fear of yellow, word or colour, but distinct from word phobias
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - the fear of long words especially
Gerascophobia - the fear of getting old often associated with
Athazagoraphobia – a fear of something or other, I’ve forgotten what leading to
Pantophobia - which is basically a widespread fear of everything, but remember
Apocalypse anxiety is a real thing, but it’s not the end of the world.
If someone
does not want me
it is not the end of the world
But
if someone do not want me
the world is nothing but ending

just going to church every week ~ does not make you a better Christian
be grateful for everything that you have ~ because many have nothing
love and respect are not something that you can buy ~you have to earn them
our world leaders and politicians ~ do not bear the scars of battle
your clock of life is ticking and does not stop ~ do not waste a second
surely it is not the end of the world ~ if your team loses a game
always accept a gift ~ don't hurt someone's feelings by refusing it
the reward for kindness is the joy you bring ~ to someone else's heart
it is inevitable that you will grow old but think young ~ stay young
the only true winners in wartime ~are the arms manufacturers
machines make life easier ~ but cannot function without your input

The woman was belligerent, arrogant and rude.
Almost nasty, full of vinegar, indignant fortitude.
Please settle down, he said to her.
Trying his best in his patrolman way
To let her know it was not the end of the world.
On this wonderfully sunny day.
She bit and clawed and spit and kicked.
And this was just through the window of her car.
He asked her to please settle down, but she went a bit more far.
She wailed and screamed and screeched and hit.
He did not quite know what to do.
He had never given his wife a ticket before Tuesday
And now he had given her mother one too!
Hey, we're single and not married,
Maybe true love never carried,
It's not the end of the world,
For any boy or girl!
Grades merely quantify your hard work
Don't let them clarify your future
Scoring low grades don't count
It's not the end of the world.
Education is an enlightening experience
Dream what are you be and good at
Collaboration is vital for success
Study for knowledge but, not for grades
I'm not saying; you shouldn't score good grades
But, those grades aren't the only thing in life
Learn how to handle the failure
To be the only one in inspiring others
Right to be yourself and be righteous
Breakthrough limitations and keep learning
Imagine your outcome and Follow your heart
Work for integrity and succeed in integrity.
We all suffer from this annoying affliction.
Writers block can be challenging, like a junkie’s addiction.
A good garbage ink can do wonders for the soul.
Attaining perfection is not usually the goal.
Whether they are words of wisdom or a description of nature.
Some write about politics or their divine creator.
Try something different, try something new.
Keep forging ahead through the poetry blues.
Some words will flow and some will not.
It’s not the end of the world just work with what you’ve got.
Take a look around, soak it all in and grow.
Your muse will return and show you it’s glow.
When you least expect it, your words will just flow.
Don’t ever think that you’ve reached your plateau.
Your block will let loose of its stranglehold.
Your muse will come back with more words of gold.
Well how do you feel, now that you're over the hill
you know that you're now well past your prime
happy birthday to you, I wish you fifty more too
but remember, fifty years is quite a long time.
You're feeling as old as dirt, every body part hurts
only the hairs in your ears and nose grow
you think to yourself that you're as old as an elf
and you were forty just ten years ago.
Well don't feel so bad, there's no reason to be sad
it's not the end of the world, so don't pout
please for goodness sake, enjoy your cake
and make sure to blow all fifty candles yout.
You shouldn't have fear because fifty is here
just relax and make sure you have fun
enjoy life instead of acting half dead
besides, this time next year, you'll be 51.
So happy fiftieth to you, I hope I reach fifty too
and remember, it could always be worse
be as happy as you can, that you drive your own new sedan
instead of being a passenger, in the back of a hearse.

They say it's not the end of the world
You know what they mean
The world isn't going to implode
It's not the 3rd apocalypse
People will keep on leaving
Their day to day lives
The earth still spins
They say it's not the end of the world
But they don't know your head
They don't know what you’re thinking
Yeah it's not the end of the world
But that meant the world
They say it's not the end of the world
But you can’t move on
You can't keep going
Yeah it's not the end of The world
But it's the end of Your world
Life is not hard
life is not easy
life depends on the way
you live your life
no one can tell you how to live
unless you give them the dignity or choice
never let life take you down the path
to where you feel like you cannot be strong anymore
do not let life take advantage of you.
you can be better and have better
you can be wise and stay wise
you can be anything and have things
but if you give up
life will over power you
I don't want that for you
live life like the last day remaining
live like their is not another tomorrow
live to the fullest than you have ever lived before
it is not the end of the world
smile and stay strong.
you will be better and have better
you can be wise and stay wise
you can be anything and have things
let nothing sand in the way of your life
because you are better than that
and I believe life will get better if
you just believe life is a promise
Anyone can crack up
Writers, santation workers , cops,
right - wingers, left wingers
It is not a nice thing to happen
But not the end of the world if you do
Many people don't believe in poetry
But we at poetrysoup.com know better, don't we!!
Poetry is the key to emotional help!
At least for people who believe in something
It is best to believe in something
“Distance lends enchantment...”
They say distance lends enchantment and true love
weathers all seasons; but, sometimes I wonder
whether the distance becomes obscured by changing
winds and billowing clouds.
And what is distance anyway? True, it’s the
long way home, the love on the end of a phone,
a plane ride to passion; but, sometimes, it’s the
pastures new, greener grass, tall growing poppies
that builds the dusty miles between us.
Sometimes, too, the saddest estrangement is more
the realisation that roads fork and curve apart
or that this road does not lead to a rainbow’s end.
But it’s not the end of the world: to have stood
close by as summer and winter heat and cool
affection and desire, is the very stuff of life.
If there are storms in your soul, if your emotions
undulate like a switchback (or the road through
the hills); then count your blessings, for you can
be a long time dead when you’re living.
