Poem and thoughts

Sad Eyes by MSR, me

I believe there are trials we cannot see,
Spaces filled without joy or glee
Things that bother us, but remain unspoken
Almost like a vase that’s broken
The vase cannot serve its purpose anymore
We, like a vase, can carry others
Keeping them safe, one with another
But broken, we can’t
Even if in a slant ……
Look into another’s eye
Some make you laugh
Some make us cry
Sad Eyes are a message
Sometimes you’ll see it right off
Sometimes and often, you won’t

If you want to make a change
You can simply find some joy
Joy is not easily found all the time
More than not we have to search
You can’t be happy for others, They have to be.
You can’t fix others
You just need to fix you, find your joy, share your hope
Others will see positive, search for their hope, their joy, just because you have.
Regardless of how you were, you can be that light, that positive for someone else.
Perfect does not exist, don’t keep looking for it, you’ll be disappointed and you’ll get tired and fail.
Be grateful, be thankful
Have an awesome day!

You Stood By by MwsR

You just waited, I believe

For a scapegoat, and it was me.

I was innocent enough to deceive.

You just kept the same lie

Knowing that it was me, who’d cry

I was too easy a target, but still, why?

You never came to my defense

Left me wondering, it didn’t make sense

No one the wiser, as you jumped that fence.

You made out like you were still an angel

Like you was so damaged, you showed a different angle

I was just the rabbit, hungry for the carrot you dangled.

You stood by while my own people mistrusted me

Because of you they did not believe

And as you have played the starring role, in this story.

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.

Poem

STAY by MwsR

Days run into one another

Memories bear down on your mind

Perhaps you’ve often wished that your heart wasn’t blind.

Separation comes quickly

Almost without warning

Yet nothing is like seeing the sunrise in the morning.

Past grievances all have lent hands to your destruction

They held so tightly, as if to strangle

At least you felt your pulse as your heart started to dangle.

Whispers follow all the innuendos

Friends become as distant strangers

Family feels more like taking a path full of dangers.

Befuddled and left to sort through things

Comfort you cannot really find

No, your bruised and battered, emotionally blind.

Where to look for that trust that was so sacred

The promises people give when you mattered

All those blank looks that leave you shattered.

Peace is something you start to beg for

Even alone you know you deserve more

You know they sit and wait to explore

Taking your dignity, your feelings

Your desires and your smile

You will learn to trust for a bit, but it will take a while.

That leaves you vulnerable and exposed

Ready to cry when someone snubs you

Hurts you, as they often do.

Why have memories if they are painful?

What good is it to smile, when that can suddenly change?

So many disappointments, so many deranged.

Short comings should not be like rain run offs

They should not show up where you least expect them

Making it hard for you, to stay calm or to breathe, like phlegm.

You should be able to leave things in the past

Move forward, with every task, even loving

There is something odd though, when you actually start moving.

You feel weird inside, fearful that with every stride

Someone is going to take your emotions on a rollercoaster

One without seat belts, one without any brakes, made out of plaster.

Be prepared is your new motto

No one every stays forever

No-one wants to, hardly ever

The days run into one another

Your biggest issue is staying okay

Hoping if you choose to love again, that they stay.

Poem

Separate Ways, Worlds Apart, by MwsR

You are there
I am here
You want this
I want that
Thinking first has never been your thing
Acting first is what you bring
Hoping has been my forte
But you think that’s a waste of a day.
I agree to disagree
But you get angry with me
I wait for you
You walk right through.
Endless work for you
Not for me, that makes me blue.
Giving up is your easy answer
Mine is to dance instead of joining the clamor.
Used to be us
Instead, it is refusing to discuss,
Standing apart
Instead of sharing one heart.
Separate ways now we concede to
Worlds apart, no me with you.

Poem

Rest by MwsR
Let your soul find peace.
Set your mind at ease.
Free yourself from guilt and shame
Rest on God almighty’s name.
Follow not this world’s view.
But awake and start with God’s; it will renew.
Reach for the one who gives you love
Soar through life just like a dove.
In him alone you’ll never want again.
If in his will you doth attend.
It’s written in his word how to live
It’s in his forgiveness you learn to give.
His light will guide you when clouds turn gray.
Just walk with him and don’t turn away.
