Effort, poem by MwsR/Poem Share

F A L L I N G…

…Like leaves during a burst of wind on a new fall day

Too hurt though standing

With not much left to say

Thawing inside from the brutal words

That came from your frozen heart

Nothing can comfort the frost bite I have already

Is it too late, or am I not ready

Like dew that forms on a still blade of grass

I often see myself as coming up last

Trying hard though, in spite of it all

Helplessly wandering,

Never towering, but  just very small

Like rain before a hurricane, I give a good effort

Even knowing that the storms will come

That is always a good beginning

At least, it is something

Oh, the things that plague me the most

They are the good intentions that sometimes go array

Falling to the wayside unattended

As if I had nothing left to say

Oh, if effort could really be all one needs

Things could certainly be different,

At least, for me.

Falling/Poem

dream_about_falling_down_by_bucz

Complicated and misunderstood

Things get twisted awfully good.

Separation starts but a little at a time

Not one person notices that distinguishing line

Stress is all-consuming

Like a renter trying to find money for the rent.

Purpose gets lost in the bustle

Surviving takes first thought

Denying is a way of coping

Neither pride or honor matter anymore.

So what if this does not make sense anymore

There, over there, is always an exit door.

Better change before it changes you its way

Better live before it takes your whole life.

Screaming will make silent the pain

But you aren’t suppose to complain.

Who knows how it all will end

Oops, there is a dare in that, you don’t understand.

Like water drifts in different directions

So shall we all.

Unless you can no longer stand after the fall.
