FOUR YEARS STILL STANDING
FOUR YEARS, STILL STANDING Four years bleeding, four years bruised, Four years fighting, four years used. Carried the weight till my back near broke, Choked on silence, swallowed the smoke. Four years of bills and sleepless nights, Four years swinging at shadows and lies. Loved and lost, trust turned thin, Hiding the chaos I’m drowning in. Four years scraping, hand to mouth, Hope ran dry,...

Premium Member Standing in Line during the holidays
When the Language Merge** I walked into Bobby Department Store and yelled, “Where are the Jamaicans and Barbadians?” This might sound a little strange to most people; however, it’s that time of year when all the languages and dialects merge, accompanied by the authentic accents from their respective places. Plus, there's always a bit of rudeness...

Premium Member Hunger Sleeps Standing
Hunger sleeps standing, leaning against time, Its door is ajar, wanting and waiting, for the fast to lift. Can't miss the hand-out when it comes, from one hand held-out giving, to one hand held-out receiving, both awake and aroused....

Standing Out
Riding on a highway, As the cars go streaming by, I notice varied brands and styles I can’t identify. To me, they mostly look the same, The SUV’s and such, With different shapes of taillights Which don’t really matter much. The vehicles are mostly dark, Though quite a few are white And sometimes there’s a burgundy Or red that one can sight. Yet...

Premium Member I was a teenager, standing at the gate of a dream universe
I was a teenager, standing at the gate of a dream universe, dressed in a white dress, flowing like rivers of milk from fairy tales, watching how the sky melts like summer ice cream and lets its pearls fall, whispering as if the soul of the world would listen to its quiet and melancholic song. I remember that day...

Premium Member Will you be standing next to me
WILL YOU BE STANDING NEXT TO ME When this world is finally done, will you be standing next to me? When all humans reside as one, no violent colors left to see. When every evil is all gone, will you be standing next to me? When nothings left to fight over, will you still want to take what's mine? When the wild beasts will...

Standing In Someone's Heart
Standing in someone's heart is important But if it does not exist I better stand on my own Each person's point of view is different If you don't want to suffer Don't compare yourself to others It's better to be alone That to be with someone else Compromising your relationship And not happy to live life as you want it to be....
