Weighed Down
Sometimes I wonder why I can't move on
From thoughts and feelings weighing down my mind.
I wish I could cast off this awful weight
So I can plan my future and be free.
Perhaps I need to find another path
A different trek so I can start again.
With choices made that keep my mind at peace
Instead of dread that

Not By Worldly Ways Weighed
Dunk in dyes, tainted, nor tinted,
In world, not by its ways weathered;
Come, put a patch of love ‘pon me
That we get not ever severed;
Death, only your shelter is such,
Op-eyed can one sleep undeterred;
Roads wind not any straight for long,
Beware, feet, of their ways wayward.
Birds ask branches: you know wood well,
Who’ll opt, be spade’s

Roe Weighed
Women have noticed with alarm
Justice has lost all of its charm
Despite lamebrains
The fact remains*
Doctors have vowed to do no harm!
*FACT: One does not become an individual
until the umbilical cord is severed.
Until then, Matthew 18:9 instructs:
"If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee"

Weighed In
I took my mum to slimming world
On every Tuesday night
She’d get her finest glad rags on
And beam with sheer delight
Not much of an adventure,
On the way she’d barely speak.
But she’d set her sights on glory
As the slimmer of the week.
With eager expectation
We queued up by the scales
Catching surreptitious glances
“Has

Weighed And Found Wanting
Written: by Miracle Man
12-26-2019
God provided a way for forgiveness of sin,
so we must trust in his sacrifice on our behalf.
For God, on the cross, became our linchpin,
If accepted HE remembers, no longer, our chaff.
By accepting Him we’ll walk a narrower path,
one void of worry when in judgment we stand.
A path that at

Weighed and Found Wanting

The greatest attainments in the life of man
Takes rest on the lightest side of the scale.
Things penetrated only by our imagination
Are quickly weighed and also found to pale.

I'Ve Weighed You In the Balance
I've weighed you
in the balance
and you are deficient
You are in pain and chained
afraid to be free
The rewards of your behavior
leave a contempt of women
You don't see the beauty
in your hearts shining star
Your one desire
It's just a game for
you to come out the winner
The ego is stroked
Then the boredom sets in
There's always something
must

Weighed Down Part 2
We all have a thief dying to come out
We must control that side of us…We must undo that knot (we must solve the case)
We are victims in our own minute minds…no doubt
We must arrest that criminal…before it causes mischief and what not (find your own way out of my maze)
Reawaken from solitude
The sun’s rising…and you’re

Weighed Down
I let the breeze whisper to me,
I want to smile, but I can’t
because tears want to flow,
but can’t
Just have this feeling that
somewhere, somehow,
something
has died…
or at the very least,
is withering
and I don’t know
whether I can be there
on time to stop it
from dying?
Of whether I can resuscitate
it back to life…
might be too late though,
because
