Breaking Down Barriers

Truly my friends
My brothers,my sisters;
There is no need to search for love,only
A need to break down those barriers
Which restrain you from it...


Hot Sauce

You tantalize senses
Breaking down defenses

You sting to attention
Breaking all convention 

Caution this spice of life
She will not make a wife

A Bad Hair Day

Walking around my parent's house in the morning
With a bed hair that is breaking down
My mother is in the kitchen scorning
Before I knew it I was wearing a gown

Break

You said you're miserable,
I said I am too,
Breaking down on the last syllable.
Tears broke out later
When I realised
I will always love you,

No matter what I lose.

Failure

I speak louder than words,
But that only does more harm than good.
Im slowly breaking down just like how life said i would.
i know im just another person people tend to over look 
but i hate being misunderstood.

Breaking down,
scolded,
each day a piece of me falls away

with each blow
I lose my love for you
with each word
it sinks deeper into my soul

once so in love
you've worn me down
I am weak
motionless

helpless

The Wall of Strength

Breaking down and all
Wall of strength is building up
Naught can take it down

Feeling protected
Wall of strength keeps still...all day...
Nothing's in its way

Powerful might shines
Wall of strength is so stable 
Naught can bring it low

I Need You Now

I want you back,
I need you now.
I'm breaking 
without breaking down.
And in the night
I scream and shout.
It's hard to sleep without you around.
I need to hide,
I need some peace.
It's hard to see you
without seeing me.
I need you now.

Premium Member The Trailer Is Me

The trailer sits alone, solitary,
very similar to yours truly.
It was created for traveling,
but it just sits there not hitched to anything,
never meeting its potential, never going anywhere,
but never in any real danger of breaking down either.

Breaking Down To the Core

Life's breaking me down to my core
and I'm afraid of what it might reveal.
I fear that everything I hid from myself is about to show.
I fear I'm about to be tested.
I fear that everything will change,
nothing will remain the same,
not even myself.

Bifurcating and Extricating

Breaking down something into two parts.

Bifurcating and Extricating

Into two parts Trump had been bifurcating,
And all the truth from lies  was extricating;
Around did look;
Wrote a book;
Found false things and started celebrating.

Hermit, be not lax,
correct parallax,
in meditation 
as staid cessation.

Fickle thoughts confuse
and senses bemuse,
so surrender will,
that voids within fill.

Shifting to the heart,
we get a jump start,
breaking down mind’s wall,
seeing God in all.

Realizing

As I close my eyes to sleep
I suddenly realize my feelings
Deep down inside,
Like an elephant trying to hide.
My heart can't hold them anymore,
Like a waterfall breaking down a door,
A girl realizing it's to late,
To get inside the safety of the now carefully locked gate.

Premium Member The Circus

You'd rather penetrate the gray, 
Then recognize the glory.
Fine, I will walk this high-wire with you.
This is my wire, too
We're all part of this circus.
Whether Monday morning rain
Or winter light refrain,
We're breaking down our tents again.
We're moving on to make sense of it again.

If not for the wrong I have 
witnessed, I’d have little to
know of good -- discovering
worth by contrast -- 

From chopping wood I
have found, the breaking down
of hard labor strengthens us. 

And love has taught me to endure.

And that friendship wrought is all 
I need of victory.

Premium Member Zen mode

our focus playfully shifts anywhere
although in truth it goes nowhere at all
for all is one when polarities pair 
soundless thunder breaking down every wall
where all that then remains is a bliss squall
in which as living light we stand erect
our vision clear and our soul’s stance perfect

Glances

Skin as white as pure untouched snow' 
Fall into the dark abyss' 
emotions never wavering resolved never falter' eyes peering through you as if reading your very soul' 
Crys as if knowing all your pain' 
seeing through your heart breaking down your walls. Your life being read in a single glance.

Blargh

I think all this crap needs to come to an end,
for I'm slowly breaking down, 
and pouring out to the wrong ones...

I need someone that'll grab my heart, 
and lock it away in a safe place where they can cherish and appreciate it.

Someone I can trust.

It'll be worth the wait. Promise me. (:

Tired

I’m tired of breaking down
And I’m tired of needing help up

I’m tired of questions
And the answers that I recieve

I’m tired of looks people give
And their never ending stares

I’m tired of always feeling bad
And the always present guilt

I’m tired of being unhappy
And I’m tired of the hurt

Dish and Spoon

When dish ran away with the spoon
They had to rest that afternoon
Now there is trouble
Spoon wants to cuddle
But dish feels like it's too soon!

With chastity like Mother Teresa's
Dish is breaking down as it decreases
Not being very stable
Dish fell off the table
And broke into more pieces than Reese's!

Tinnitus

Lurking in the shadows
In the gaps beyond the stars
Voices shouting louder
Silenced only by my heart

Screaming in the silence 
To engulf my senses full
I long for silent silence
To enact a final cull

Breaking down the volume
Taking down the noise
Breaking down the constant
To a point I hear my voice

Penny
Pennies
Into pounds
Cost of living 
Breaking down 


Digging 
Chipping 
Gritty climb 
I'll come out on top 
I'll work 
I'll grind 



Sometimes short
But never without
Thirsty commitment 
 dampens  this  drought

Drip by drip
Collect the flow 
Cup almost full
But don't let them know .

Carousel of Love

Carousel of Love
Breaking up, Breaking Down
My tears spin the world around
Romance is speaking out-loud
Yet my sadness is out of breath 
The world looks at me with 
regret 
One thing u know that the 
through this pain
My love grows stronger 
And when one story comes to 
end 
We'll ride on the next carousel

The Wall

A wall she built
 So tall and tough
 Every inch a hurt she felt
 Breaking down a bit at a time
 Trying hard pushing out of her mind
 Falling foolish 
Behind her smiles
 Of thoughts of running free and wild
 This wall she built
 So strong so tall 
Will go harder and tough
 Through out it all.

Comparison, Comparison
She is good at 
dancing, singing 
Reading, writing

I can't hold it
ANYMORE!
Tired of being COMPARED 
Always breaking down

 BUT, Never gonna happen 
the samething.
 It's my time to shine 
Put all my hardwork

And Today, My Hardwork
Paid off.
Today I am the onlyone Shining
