Can’t by MwsR
Can’t say things aloud.
They’re stuck inside amidst the feelings that crowd.
Wishing that I could have enough courage to share
But regardless of effort. I will not be spared
With the passing time.
It seems easier to hide these words of mine.
Can’t say things aloud.
When by MwsR (me)
When you feel down and out,
Make your soul jump up and about.
Do something kind for someone or something
It will surely make you sing.
Life is rewarding when we start to shine
Give to less fortunate be meek and kind.
If you can’t spread a rainbow
At least be the pot of gold, you know.
For whoever finds you will find a treasure
And whoever knows you, it will be a pleasure.
The world has a way of putting clouds of gray in a person’s day
Try and be the one who can lessen that in a small way.
When you are feeling down and out,
Take care of others and you will eventually stop your pout.
Inescapable Knot by MwsR
Been thinking about you from dusk to dawn
Wishing we could talk again, all evening long.
You came in my life at such an impressionable age
Showed me how to dream while in a most imaginable state.
I wonder often if I cross your mind
Leaving you breathless while not being far behind.
I carry you around like a clown carries his props.
Never letting you go for fear my heart would drop
Or my heartbeat stop.
There are times I swear I hear your words
If I told that to certain people they’d think me absurd.
But it’s true and deep
And follows with every heartbeat.
You changed my mind, filled my soul
Like frost that is inseparable from the cold.
One blink I feel I might lose sight
While holding you in my heart so tight.
A dream, I think not
Just an inescapable knot.
Photographs by MwsR
Photographs, times, I can’t remember, but I can see
None though, except one of you and me.
The hardest part is gathering bits here or there
And hearing how losing you was so hard to bear.
Pictures can’t fix what my mind goes through
Or make my dreams of you come true.
The ones who knew you, I sure envy so!
That’s not something I’ll ever know.
I wish you could have been alive to see
That little baby that grew into me.
Gone but never too far
From that hole in my heart that now has become a permanent scar.
If I were allowed a day of happy
I’d wish it to be with you, my Daddy.
When Thanksgiving Changed by MwsR
The day has always been celebrated without your presence
The talk never has included you
But when it’s mentioned, it’s of course blamed on you.
No verbal request for you to attend
No reaching out to you to try and heal or mend
It’s okay to point fingers at you
Even though it’s okay to assume.
If you were meant to be there
There’d be no doubt left in the air
You’d feel that, right?
No need to fuss or fight
Instead, Thanksgiving changed
When no one spoke your name
When life without you was expected
Needless to say, the lack of effort, feeling rejected.
When Thanksgiving changed you weren’t there
Even though you wanted to be, you wanted them to care
You wanted to be included more than in a passing thought
It was belonging that you sought.
Go ahead and pass the blame
Don’t let it change anything
But when this old life nears its end
Maybe then…
Notorious Diabetes. By MwsR
Silently it works in me
Even if I have just one sip of sweet tea.
I don’t know how it will work from day today
Sometimes…most times I wish it to just go away.
When I am sad or mad it quickly reacts
Like a sting from stepping on a thumbtack.
Why does it want me anyway?
I didn’t ask for it when I would pray.
I wanted a less complicated life
One without any physical strife.
Sometimes though regardless of wishing
We go through things that are just not uplifting.
Instead of peace, I get a constant reminder
And a disease that throws up lots of blinders.
A disease that hates me
It is the notorious Diabetes.
