Antidote For A Troubled Heart
I walk alone where the frost bites deep,
Where silence howls and shadows creep.
The world forgot me—left me bare,
A ghost among the living air.
I cry, but echoes mock my plea,
No arms, no voice, no sanctuary.
Yet still I breathe, though breath feels thin—
A

tale of a troubled swan
Swinging my new bamboo fan,
tall mountains,
steep foggy valleys where the swans gathers,
story of thousand moons,
carried by winds of people wining and dining,
come let's read poetry together,
and draw our dreams with ink on the sky
drop the sword,
a little fan against a steel sword,
send your eagle off to sing about the ten thousand rules of humanity,
double edged

988 - A Bridge Over Troubled Waters
In the depths of your mind, where shadows reside,
A voice whispers doubt, with nowhere to hide.
Depression's a monster, a weight on your chest,
A longing for solace, a moment of rest.
The future seems hopeless, a relentless refrain,
"You're lost in the darkness, there's nothing to gain."
But wait, through the struggle, a beacon appears,
Three digits of hope, dispelling

Troubled Love INSIGHT
The thoughts are risen: But nobody to listen;
Hot breaths from lungs continually waltzed over skin.
Everyday my sleepless heart cries alike the pouring rain.
I wish there could have been a

In the twilight of troubled silence, where words melt into shadows
In the twilight of troubled silence, where words melt into shadows,
I delve into the labyrinth of thoughts, writing the soul's silence in notes,
Each letter born from the pulse of my hands, keeping the secret enclosed in blood.
I let the words flow from my fingers, so they wouldn't turn into screams,
To preserve the quiet of the

Sticking By A Troubled Friend
Problems come and problems go
But there's one thing you should know
If good friends stand by your side
Helping through the bumpy ride
Knowing love is all around
Till your back on level ground
The smallest problems disappear
Soon they are no longer there
Days are happier again
With the good kind hearted friends
Who never bailed or walked out
Their minds without a single

Troubled Teen
When I was a kid, I learned to be sad.
I wouldn’t cry over lost balloons like I used to.
But rather, I learned to be solemn before I even knew what that meant.
When I was a kid, I learned how to tell time.
Which made me more sad.
When I was a teen, I learned about detention.
I would

Unheard-Cries-Of-A-Troubled-Soul
Why do I feel Myself just sinking
With nothing and no one to hold on to
Slowly, yet, I am on solid ground
Do not think it ironic
It’s quite plausible
Only I am not sinking,
Not literally anyway
Just emotionally, psychologically, spiritually
There’s nothing of Me left
No, I am not crazy!
No, I am not delusional
No, I am not over-exaggerating
No, I am not

When Troubled, Sad and Lost
When I am troubled I walk in nature,
and soon my troubles are far, far away;
I start to notice the bird songs in the trees,
and beautiful nature all around me.
And I am kissed by a passing breeze !
When I am full of tears I seek nature,
though grief is like a stone holding me down;
the trees

In Troubled Times
Political and health epidemics
Are the topic of the news
It seems each day they intensify
Authorities all have different views
Normal carefree days are gone
There's tension and unrest
Solutions, often are hard to find
It's difficult to know what is best
Actually, troubles are not new
The Bible records, in the book of Job
Verse fourteen; one and two - -
Only a few

Troubled Souls
Dear Mr Politician why can’t you see
The destruction and chaos in your own country
Kensington Philadelphia
The big black hole
Desperate for help
For its lost troubled souls
Sitting on a footpaths
Filth all around
Searching for a vein
That cannot be found
Homeless, addicted
Suffering, pain
Guilt, despair
Sadness , blame
Violence, abuse
Rejection, neglect
Having never known value,
Worth or respect
Helpless, trapped
Desperate ,alone
No food, no shelter
Nowhere to call home
Infection
