Shattering the Unbroken Cycle
Shattering the Unbroken Cycle Bully's shadow looms, a pervasive stain across all sectors, absurd, yet sustained Governments and schools deny workers' rights incentives, facilities, and dignity's light Seniors torment juniors with blows and pain emotional scars, hunger, and shame's stain Educators wound with words, with physical might abuse and fear, a toxic, endless night Domestic walls conceal violence and despair husbands, wives, and shattered vows...

Just to tie me down
But you loved me for the girl i was Not the girl i am nor the girl i was becoming Not loving me with my flaws But loving me for my flaws So together you can tie me down You wrapped me in your poisonous arms And whispered sweet nothings in my ears You suffocated me with your...

Shattering
Shattering Parts of me are shattered The skies are bartered The grounds do not recognize me The fire of love are distinguished Call me A glass which is now broken The parts of me are not to be found The mirrors are empty from you Parts of me are shattered Parts of me are shattered!...

Uncomplicated me I thought I was colour blind free thinking and kind with an evolved mind Loving and accepting of the ones I find Yet my blindness Is that of privilege I'm just a visitor in the Global village From my narrow thin mind there is too much spillage Although so many are forced from their homes My life seems carefree I am deaf to the groans Brown...

Shattering
Without counting the pendulum swings I fall from trees without leaves for I am simply the bird Don’t you know what it feels like to kiss the horizon I am at a crossroads so why not play tic tac toe? I fall from trees without leaves for I am simply the bird With you becoming the silver wrapped around my...

Shattering Symbols
Shattering Symbols Sometimes I feel shattered between symbols, A musician crashes me side to side, I plan quiet and peaceful meditation, Then life takes me for an unscheduled ride. The world comes down with its pressing problems, The symbols clang and squeeze my aching head; Musicians’ drums beating, so demanding; Oh, for soft pianissimo instead. The breeze and wind songs of flute and...

Premium Member O' I Wept, Tears Shattering Broken Souls
O' I Wept, Tears Shattering Broken Souls I wept hard from noon until late midnight, feelings for her loss, no other has known, for lost vision of her face in cool morns; and sweet, gentle moments her love brought flight. That day, sun fell into scathing abyss, her dear soul touch my hand the last time, she had been my steady rock,...

Shattering and Crashing
SHATTERING and CRASHING An embattled moment gets frozen in time As an angry storm destroys a glass wind chime The last noise that it made was a shrill scream As if its whole existence was worked up to it's own shattering Being human we are designed to pick up the pieces Even though we risk cuts in finger creases A cut so...

A Diamond Shattering Death Diamonds shattering just behind her family's door for the life of her dear father is no more!

SHATTERING THE SHACKLES… (APROPOS RESURRECTION)… I shall no longer be your tragedy or divine comedy; Nor the phantom pain of the fake penitence you proclaim. I will no longer wallow in despair nor put down the me inside. Today, I am a phoenix...

Shattering Hopes
My wrapper loose day after day My motion and emotion unstable I forget to think But I wasn’t drunk I remember in a trance Stable I was My wrapper tight on my torso Not divulging the firm breasts I remember vividly when it began to loose Days turned nights The sun withheld its radiance I mourned unending Breasts tumor I had Oh! The pain hurts One more...

Shattering
My heart is shattering, Shattering like falling glass, Can't be healed, Created by my best friend, Can't heal this shattered torn heart, Can't put it back together. Why can't you see Caleb, I need you to be here for me, Please stop this shattering In my heart? Please heal these wounds, Heal this heart, Make it pump blood, Again, make it perfect. Shattered heart, I'm gone forever, Six feet under...
