Dreamland/ Poem by MwsR

You once took my hand, 

 

You said you would take me away to that happy place.

Promising me that what was going on was a total nightmare and not real

But I was the only who could see and feel it.

You whispered right to my soul

Told me that bad people are only in the movies

But I found no comfort in those words

Instead I lived without comfort for many years.

You said there would be rainbows after the rain

Sent me wishing along a path of make belief,

Showed me nothing and still wanted me to follow you

To believe you, and I willingly was naïve.

Turns out that behind every dream I ever dreamt of happiness,

One of sorrow interrupted me.

I found nothing to help

No one in my world to grab a hold and not let go of me

All I had when it was said and done was a need to flee.

I stopped dreaming for it left me falsely in a daze of happiness

Instead I stopped listening to you and faced the awful dread.

Don’t bother me anymore!

I can’t live in that Dreamland.

Why am I passionate about my blogging?

I am really a newbie in this blog thing and I am learning more and more each time I read someone else’s stuff or the WordPress blog posts. I enjoy writing, I always have. What started out as a simple diary from my childhood , later became my heart in words on paper. When a person deals with emotional upsets, they express their dealings or experiences in different ways. My way of expression is poetry and just writing. I came on WordPress to promote my books, but found so much more here. I hope that one day, I may help someone or give enjoyment to someone, and possibly a little hope too.

10 Random Facts 

  1. I rode the 1982 World’s Fair, Ferris wheel in Knoxville Tennessee.The Giant Wheel was the largest Ferris wheel in the world at the time and the park’s tallest attraction at 165 feet. It’s currently the second tallest wheel in North America. I was stuck motionless on the very top too.
  2. The largest crowd I ever sang in front of was 500 people. It was a school function.
  3. I once went to a singing audition, sang a song from Mariah Cary and won first place. I was offered a record deal and an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry.  I  had to turn it down although it had been a dream of mine.
  4. I take 2 shots a day for my Diabetes.
  5. I have never traveled outside the USA, although I wish.
  6. I am not a victim anymore, I am a survivor.
  7. I love all walks of people and always thought I would be a nurse when I grew up.
  8. I have never went on a cruise ship. One of my wishes .
  9. I can play piano.
  10. I live in the same town as the family that raised me but never see them. Long story.

 

Questions for me to answer from Photosociology

How straight is straight?

It depends on who is observing.

What would you think I was referring to if I told you to ‘put it down’?

Feelings. Put my feelings down in words.

Why are swans graceful?

They don’t know they are beautiful.

Would you be a superhero or a sidekick, and what would your name be?

I’d be a sidekick, my name would be “Humble”, why because I think being ‘Humble” is what we all should be.

If you could remove one letter from the English alphabet, what would it be, and what consequences do you see coming from it?

Hmm… I guess it would be “e” because it usually hangs in the end of a word and it is unnecessary there.

What was the last thing you lost and never found? What do you imagine has happened to it?

I lost my sense of innocence. I wish I had never lost that. I envy babies and children they have it. I think somewhere in between my knowledge of things and adulthood, that is where I lost it.

What significance does the number seven have to you? What memories do you associate with it?

It reminds me of the days of creation in the Bible. I think of a week as well.

I remember learning the days of creation in school. I went to a Private Christian School.

Young and completely broke or old and disgustingly rich?

Old and rich, because I would give that money to those in need.

If a giant squirrel had commandeered your mode of transportation, whether car, moped, bike etc., and seemed to know how to make it work, what would you do to stop him?

I would not, I would enjoy watching it.

If you had your own coat of arms, what would I expect to find on them to describe you/ your family?
You would find a weight, a heart, a music note and possibly a light.

Little girl

So many times there are things that go unspoken, So many people in our world are hurting. So much to say and too little help comes their way.

MwsR

Little girl why are you so sad?

What in the world has happened to make you so weary?

I see the tears  hidden behind your freckles and bangs

I feel alongside with you

It is horrific what we humans do.

We take the innocent and make them accountable

Not for their sins but our own

We pound them down just to watch them under our very feet.

If one of us can control what isn’t ours to control

Then we become more and more bold.

I see you hide when he comes around

And it isn’t because he is a dressed up clown.

I know you feel so let down

I know no one was ever around to help you

It is not your fault

If being innocent and pretty makes you a target

That is a shame

He was the adult, he should have refrained.

I hear your prayers at night

I know you are searching for that one bright light.

You never get much sleep at night, wondering if he will come.

When daybreak sees you into another morning

I feel your excitement soon turn into mourning.

Mourning because you will have to defend, yet again

Those actions of his are his alone

Not your fault that you have to be home.

You are just a kid

A kid who deserves to be loved

Not ignored until you serve a purpose,

For that one you thought would love.

Your cries out in the woods

I hear them and know inside you, you are good.

Remember this thing won’t last your life long

If you can make it through this season or two

I have something better in place for you.

Don’t even think about ending your life

You have so much purpose, so much to give.

Your ending is still unwritten

You have the ultimate choice

And know my dear, I gave you a voice!

If you know someone who is being abused, mentally, physically, or otherwise, please stand up for them. Take it upon yourself to help them. I was a little girl who did not have anyone. I should have had someone but they failed to come to terms with what was happening to me. It is never okay to hurt another person. If you, yourself, have or is being abused, speak to someone , anyone! Don’t let it continue, don’t stay silent.

Instant/Poem/By MwsR

Instant

In an instant you were gone
Everything that happened went all wrong.
I think about you when I hear certain songs.
You were a chance that I was given
You gave me life, so I could start living.
It was without giving.
I was lost from the time you said goodbye
So many things I wanted to try
Things with you, I cannot lie.
You always felt like a dream
I really didn’t have anything real, it would seem.
Wondering why, why me.
How did you do it?
Go on with your life and not give a shit.
I couldn’t, never did, I felt split.
In an instant my life changed once again.
You died, and we never truly began.1057248_1280x720

 

In the end

In the end will there be peace

at the end of a day

Maybe I should beg while on my knees.

I feel this pressure from above

To take care of those I love.

The need is like none else.

It starts somewhere deep inside myself.

I wish to be close and thought of often

Not left out or forgotten

I hope to have the best of days

Just to heal or mend

I want this all before the END.

Gone From This Old World….

Struggling hard to come to terms with this feeling

But never  relief in sight.

I even dreamt about you, oh so many times.

What you would be like, what would you say

My birth dad! Johnny

Only if your life hadn’t ended that  way.

I have a picture or two but not really enough

I think I have studied them a lot, etched you in my mind

What my tears and heart cannot find.


I see you liked cats, wow, that is so me

I favor you too, a lot, it would seem.

I know you smoked Marlboro cigarettes

That you liked to play practical jokes,


I know your eyes were blue, as mine are,

You not being here has left a terrible scar.

I so would had loved to show you my life,

Tell you stories of things and tell you goodnight.


It just wasn’t our time, I guess

Happy endings for us were not meant to be.

I still think of you as often as I breath.

Gone from this old world, but not truly from me

See, you were my father and always will be.

Quotes for the day!

   “What light is to the eyes – what air is to the lungs – what love is to the heart, liberty is to the soul of man.”

     “To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”

― Buddha
