Strength by MwsR Writings

The walls I built were never for you, they were for me. The strength it took to keep them erect was much harder than you’d expect. Then one day. many years later, the walls no longer mattered.
It was the strength that I had gained from all of that pain. My world would be forever changed but my heart would live on, go on, and be much more than I’d ever hoped for.
The remnants of the walls remain and sometimes I still sense their presence. I no longer wait with bated breath but with rememberance of what was, what could be.
You’ll never know this because you are not me.
So don’t try to lessen my strength with rumors, you aren’t privy to such a state as mine. I will not run away, or resort to a corner to pine. You will only see what I choose to show you, what I allow. There it is, it is the time and it is now.
Don’t think to hard on this, you will certain be amiss.
Travel on from here, I implore. You don’t belong, not anymore.

Can’t Live Behind Walls by MwsR

Nothing is extra ordinary inside of walls
Little is seen and very little heard
Outside those same walls I can breathe
I can help my soul find reprieve.
I can’t live behind walls because I won’t smell new life
I won’t be able to see the wondrous creation
Feel my surroundings through smell, touch, taste, and sight.
Behind walls, things become stagnant
Everything can grow clutter
Foresight can become lost
Reality can get skewed
Outside the walls
Sounds errupt
Touch becomes intense
Hearing is superb
And darkness contains a beauty of its own.
I can’t just stay behind the walls
I’d merely exist
I’d would of missed my first raindrop
Never would of pulled off my first tomato
I would be miserable indeed
Outside of any wall you never know what awaits
You can go for a jog or simply skate
You may find joy and endless matter
Feel the cold, fall as you slip on ice
Eat lunch at a park
Never inside would I stay happy
Too much is outside for me not to be
Spring will come and winter will leave
I can’t stay behind the walls
And miss a chance or miss an event
I can’t stay behind a brick and mortar wall
Or behind one made from tin
I would never stay in
I need walls only for cover and for things to stay safe
But my heart is outside the walls, out from behind all walls.

MwsR Quote

Struggles

Seems like there is no one way

One answer for all

Things roll sometimes,

Sometimes they just fall.

Why can’t things always be easy

Able to be reached, to be changed?

I’m feeling some sort of way today

Reminiscing and inside myself, screaming

I always have to pay.

I might of changed somethings

Changed other things

But I feel so incomplete often

Awaiting what tomorrow brings.

Struggles don’t discriminate

They often replicate

Leaving behind confusion and doubt

Very hard for some people to take.

Like we need to breathe, to live

We need struggles too

It makes us stronger and we will survive.

Don’t fret

Not yet

Live as best you can

With and without and you’ll be set.
