Old Friend, poem by MwsR

My sadness comes calling like an old friend

Brain and heart disheartened

Pulling me in towards those locked away feelings

A spin off of my nightmares versus my hopes and dreams

More than not, burdens of my feelings weight me down

Abuse was not my doing or liking

Then why must it be a part of me still?

Why must it encroach on my space and spread over my face?

No makeup can cover all this

I want to put these emotions out to pasture

Never to bring them back home again.

Let them die out in a field of clover.

Sprinkled with the piles of crap from those ”animals”

My life should mean more

Than this abuse, I implore.

Sadness, remembering, and a lot of hurt feelings

Chased by a strong cup of forgiveness pie.

Ugh.

I am to mean more than an abused one

I want to be more.

When I look in the mirror, I am more.

Abused, survivor, and strong

Now, that’s how I am

Who I am and was,

All along.

Chances by MwsR

See the source image

Take a stance,

Each day is another chance

To shine, to make a different beginning,,

Even if your soul is struggling.

Sometimes in our most vulnerable states

We can, a difference make.

Life can be good

Even if sometimes we do not do what we should.

Despite all the sett backs and frustrations

Life is a rewarding and full of jubilation.

Often in defeat,

We can see when it is time to retreat,

Life has a way of instructing us, too

Humbling some, often with another chance or two.

Look at something from another way

Another perspective will often display

Things are there,

Make yourself aware

Reach for that higher “bar”

Surely, you will go far.

Hope Again~poem

Anxiety over shadows the life I should have

My dreams became fence posts to keep the anguish away.

How can I face a tomorrow when I cannot make myself free?

Am I am just a vessel with no apparent reason for existing?

In my mind I have lived a slave’s life

Slave to the desire to love, beloved, and kept in love.

Like a ruler of a thousand kingdoms

With none who really want me to be

I tried on

I must

Not sure why

But if there is a slight chance I may matter to one,

I will let that lead me to hope again.

MwsR ❤️

Thoughts (Hope)

Everyone puts their clothes on and gets ready to go out into their day. What if, just what if they actually thought love was as important as their clothes, to go out into the day with. Better yet, what about kindness and sincerity, or hope…yes hope.
