CIRCUMSTANCES, by MwsR

In a world where we suffer,

Why not be a buffer?

In a time where things burst out of control

Why not be the one constant soul?

In a year like we have seen

Be the kind one, not the mean.

If things seem weary, dreaded, or bleak,

Reach out and help the weak.

If nothing can be certain or sure

Be the reason things are not obscure.

If false teachers are spreading lies,

Let the truth be seen with your own eyes.

When dire circumstances arise,

Try to stay calm, collected, and wise.

When people mock you for being caring

Don’t let them make you uncaring.

When our world gets to be too much,

Make sure you tell those you love ,you love them a bunch.

Things change always,

Things will block your path, even if sideways.

Things will be hectic, sometimes,

Prepare your heart and mind.

We all are in this together,

Together, we are,

Let’s keep on keeping on,

No matter how far.

Poem

Collecting Your Memories
By MwsR

It is sad sometimes
But it is so real.
The life we live all the time.
When there is doubt or fear, or pain
We go back to where we once were.
Finding comfort from the same.
It’s scary to think
For us to move on we need to collect our memories
Before they sink.
Often blinded by the once was
Too much can cloud our today’s.
But if you have to, to move ahead, or just because…
Then collect your memories
Express their feelings as best you can.
Be it in song, writing, or whatever sensories.

Poem

Memories Are The Things That Last Longer, by MwsR

When the whirl of your life passes you
There is not much but memories to hold onto.
Those that you started each day with a new
Are no longer the ones that surround you.
A certain calm you cannot find
There is so much pressing on your mind.
Waiting to relax, it isn’t happening
Afraid if you do, you will start napping
Wishing it all back to where it once was
But knowing inside, there were fights and a lot of fuss.
Where you lay your head isn’t always where your heart is
And sometimes you just miss it!
Life is ever-changing and uncertain in itself
Our hearts are not something we simply rest on a shelf.
We must work, hold on to, and get stronger
And remember sometimes, memories are the things that last longer.

Poem

We by MwsR

We say tomorrow
But 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.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To know that for destruction ice

Is also great,

And would suffice.

Poem

Don’t by MwsR

You don’t even know me

Yet you have already judged me.

You mix your words with raw emotion

Yet you try to stir up a reaction.

I will not play your game

You don’t even know my name.

Stop being mean and try to see

I’m not the problem, and your problem isn’t me.

You fill your head with all that chatter

I think some day things won’t matter.

Just learn to trust, learn to focus

Don’t give your dreams to any hocus pocus.

Maybe meditate, read a book

Look in the mirror with that same opposing look.

I am not your foe, not even a past friend

Now don’t you suppose this should be the end?

Please try to weigh what really matters to you

Someone might just be true blue.

Stop blaming, keep loving, keep trusting,

Life is too short, keep living.

I am hoping you will see

Before things change for you drastically.

Since I wrote what I had to say,

I am going to bid you “good day”.

Remember, you don’t have to be that way!
