Poem

Just A Moment In Time. by MswR

The passing of the tap water over your fingers,

Each sound that’s listened to as you try to sleep.

Time is not ours to keep.

The smells you remember,

Talks on the phone,

Mostly it’s the times you’ve spent alone.

The opening of a new chip bag,

All the anticipation

Without the slightest frustration.

Mind murals I reflect on,

Things from life that have come or gone.

Searching not one but all,

Passing someone down a hall.

Eating the best food,

Saving nothing for later,It was the pleasure that did matter.

A favorite movie seen over and over,

The same joke told a thousand times,

The look in the mirror at a thousand lines.

It’s simple yet quick,

Effortless yet worth working for,

Our moments in time for us to savor once more.

Poem

We by MwsR

We say tomorrow
But really we think about today.
We say things will get better
Yet really they stay the same.
We dream of things we wish to be true
When in reality they’ll never be.
We cling to things and people
Even while leaving out our own family.
We place value on things we should avoid
Trying hard to grasp and hold tight.
We never stop and think,
Losing sight of that something to feel the void.
We never look in front of ourselves, really
To where we once and sometimes still are.
We never see what we have to give,
Instead, we stay stagnate
Never really truly enjoying the life we live.

Poem

Stand by MwsR

Thought things were manageable,

Then they proved their selves too hard to handle?

There is no sense in trying to stay

No point when you were the one that get shoved away

Sometimes the best you can do

Is give it all a sling and get it away from you.

Don’t try to make excuses for other’s behavior

Forgetting it only to try and be everyone’s “savior”

It gets you nothing, not one little bit

All it can do is put your emotions into a fit.

Try earnestly, to be true, to you first

Yes, sometimes you’ll feel it all is about to burst.

But regardless of whomever or whatever

You can stand on your own, though all kinds of weather

You can be strong, by walking away

By preserving your soul, in that way

You’ll be prepared to go through each day

To tackle the necessary and to play.

When others feel bad about their selves

They rarely can care for someone else.

Walk away from stress, always keep an open mind

There can be no redemption while you stay blind.

Don’t help make excuses for anyone

Even if you can, leave it alone.

Decide that what you want better

That you deserve better.
