Urgent BY MwsR

All rights reserved. MwsR2021

An urgent cry for help

So many signs, so much time passing

“If only” things clutter the mind.

Where is it we lose our edge?

Hopeless people are everywhere

People without hope are starting to rise

Some show it externally

Some try still, so very much, to hide it.

Acts that go against “their nature”,

Lies that start piling up

Crashes from exhaustion

Seems for some the world can be too much.

A comment given after a statement

One that so innocently gets ignored

There can be that “once in for instance”

Like the slamming of their bedroom door

Actions that warrant no real reason

Spontaneous emotion followed by insults

Sometimes the oddest of things are guarded

And sometimes the care of self, not so much.

Will tarrying delay the consequences for deeds that penetrate the soul?

Often in this life we try to be so bold.

Caring not about the outpour of another

One with whom we share this world

Faultless is no one

Responsible is everyone.

The shame lies in the way we acknowledge

The way we pacify others,

In our ignorance of other’s lives

Forgetting the whole realm of everything

Excusing the very ones who are to blame.

Poem By MwsR

Tragedy

There are mistakes

Mistakes that linger, like the residue you see after a fire.

Possible misinterpretations are present

Misinterpretations of a person’s actions or words.

Belligerent giving’s are not giving at all

No giving at all without a giving heart.

Silent spaces that often are hidden

Hidden to disguise the truth.

Lies that deceive and insult

Insult those that actually believe in you.

Sickness that takes hold of a person’s heart

The heart that unfortunately will soon break.

Missing a dear partner, or a beloved pet

A beloved tragedy with regret.

Fantasizing not on reality but on falseness

Falseness that can make your present life a bore.

Prideful about things

Things that are not good for you and will destroy you.

Lack of compassion for all creatures and humans

Creatures and humans that are intended to have compassion

Separate agendas that will surely separate you from your intended target

The target that no longer is there.

Storms of life that cause you to crumble

Crumble down and make you forget how to live.

Tragedies are more than events, they are more than happenings,

Tragedies are when you fall short of living life to its fullest

Or when you disregard others,

Tragedy is a whole lot, of a bunch of things, that impact you and others.

Poem

As by MwsR

As I already knew
That nothing would change my shade of blue.
It was a color I was very familiar with
A common in my life ever since being a Smith.
My goals were simple back in the day
It was to be a singer up on a stage.
To be applauded for a song
Not knowing it was in my personal life, I needed applause all along.

As I dreamed of being a nurse
I wanted to help others who had it worse.
I never felt that I couldn’t brighten someone’s day
But more often than not I wanted to cheer people up with words that I could say.
See, helping someone made my problems fade
But unfortunately, it just took my mind off them, they never really went away.

As life has a way of making things seem so heavy and hard
Our hopes, dreams, and aspirations get marred.
Things that mattered once now fall on stony ground
They cannot recoup nor any abundance is found.
Sadly they die and disappear
Nothing can grow there, sometimes for years.

As if that was that
It comes and leaves from where it is at.
No rhyme nor reason
No hope, no change of the season.
Nothing but despair
That is all that is left all too often there.

As a leaf falls to the ground,
We will too.
But if we are lucky and a strong wind blows through,
It will carry us and our troubles will be few.

As surely as I write,
One day things will again, be alright.
There is no need to worry about spilled milk
It can easily be cleaned.
If the smell can be withstood
Then things will get back to normal as they should.

As you read this belief in things, hope for things, dream of things while you can.
Don’t listen to the opinions of just any man.
No one can make a future for you,
You have to believe in yourself, it’s true.

Poem

Let by MwsR

Let me never forget

Those whom I’ve encountered or have met.

Let my ears always listen

To those who need to speak.

Let my paths bring something to

Instead of take away from.

Let my mind focus on important things

Help me to keep distractions at bay.

Let me speak with truth and in love

Never let me ridicule or blame.

Let the songs that I keep in my heart help me rise

Instead of stay lowly in heart.

Let the people who I know, bless me

Help me to rid myself of cutthroats and selfish ones.

Let me pray for wisdom

May I always direct myself to God.

Let me write to bring peace and confirmations

To those who need assurance and something to hold on to..

Poem

Dad, my first guy, by MwsR

Pictures are all I have
They are like a wound with a little salve.
You are and always will be
The very core part of me.
I know you existed I see and hear about it all.
I just wish you were still here for me to call.
Often you are in my head
I find myself thinking of you while looking ahead.
If one little wish I was able to make
It might be to see you, you know before the ache.
Dads are more than a name we give,
They are the ones that teach us how to grow and live.
I never got to have that with you
I often think about what if’s and it makes me blue.
Others get to call up their dads and talk
Some get to spend time with them and go for walks
I get to ponder and wonder a lot
About what I have and what I not.
It is not your fault I am sure you would have stayed
But that wasn’t how it all got played.
Taken too soon from this earth and from your family
The ones who loved you and made you happy.
I guess some things never come to be
Like my wish for you to had known me.
Or maybe just to spend the day talking to you
And carrying on about the days that we went through.
It’s a good thing memories come around
Because that’s all some have when their hearts start to frown.
Dad, I know if you knew me
You’d see a lot of you inside of me, probably.
You would have also known how much you meant to me…you know why,
After all, you were my first guy.
