Bridges Aren’t Meant To Be Burned/Poem by MwsR

Sometimes in life we take a journey, whether right or wrong

This is mainly to serve a purpose, one we often time travel alone

No one can always be there to hold onto our hand

Often we look at what we left behind, never at where we stand

Along those journeys of joy and pain, we fail to notice that others do the same

Something usually gets our attention for a moment, for a while perhaps

But forward we some how manage to go, like trees that ooze their sap

It just is the course of things, the natural order if you will

Some people are held back sometimes, and often that makes them ill

No need to fuss or argue as to why you, why you are less fortunate

It may will be to make you stronger, more pungent

I know sometimes you want to cross the “bridge”, if you will

But don’t be so quick to do that, there could just be a bigger “hill”

Bridges are not meant to be crossed quickly, my friend

They are there to help you accomplish something, or see better, the end

They are not meant to be burned, because from time to time

You will want to crass back over, to help and just remind

Remind yourself that life has different highs, different lows,

I am most certain of this, I really do know

Bridges were not mean to be burnt,

There serve to teach or help us, those things we should of learnt.

Poem(written to the father I never got to know)

DAD, my first guy, by MwsR

Pictures are all I have
They are like a wound with a little salve.
You are and always will be
The very core part of me.
I know you existed I see and hear about it all.
I just wish you were still here for me to call.
Often you are in my head
I find myself thinking of you while looking ahead.
If one little wish I was able to make
It might be to see you, you know before the ache.
Dads are more than a name we give,
They are the ones that teach us how to grow and live.
I never got to have that with you
I often think about what if’s and it makes me blue.
Others get to call up their dads and talk
Some get to spend time with them and go for walks
I get to ponder and wonder a lot
About what I have and what I not.
It is not your fault I am sure you would have stayed
But that wasn’t how it all got played.
Taken too soon from this earth and from your family
The ones who loved you and made you happy.
I guess some things never come to be
Like my wish for you to had known me.
Or maybe just to spend the day talking to you
And carrying on about the days that we went through.
It’s a good thing memories come around
Because that’s all some have when their hearts start to frown.
Dad, I know if you knew me
You’d see a lot of you inside of me, probably.
You would have also known how much you meant to me…you know why,
After all, you were my first guy.

Feelings

Tears drip ever so often

Saddness permiates what I’d not forgotten

Shivers to and from my heart

Pieces connected but standing apart

Peace and comfort interrupted

Mind and soul diverted

Something that once stood for something

Torn from nothing

Yet hanging on in strands

Bigger and louder than the nation’s bands

Twisted making stronger 

But also longer

Feelings that bind our hearts and minds

Ever we seem to always find.

Midst Of Uncertainty

When the words fail, like they so many times do,

Do you feel defeated? I know I have, many times, too.

If slight set backs are really not your style,

That is okay, there is more than this, that will last for a while.

Uncertainty, is certainly scary and makes us apprehensive

Subject to almost any thing that comes when we are submissive.

But that is the way some feel

When we do not know if things are real

If that is your way of thinking, and in some time it may be

Start trying to deal with things in different kinds of strategies.

There will always be a midst of uncertainty,

It will visit you, as well as it has me.

No need to be distraught,

Rely on what the past has taught,

Things will go back to normal , so to speak,

Learn how to react standing on both feet.

Don’t let uncertainty stop you

From being yourself’ s true “blue”.

Saddness permiates what I’d not forgotten

Shivers to and from my heart

Pieces connected but standing apart

Peace and comfort interrupted

Mind and soul diverted

Bigger and louder than the nation’s bands

Twisted making stronger 

But also longer

Feelings that bind our hearts and minds

Ever we seem to always find.

Extreme By MwsR

Everything is necessary

When nothing is not a choice.

Don’t ever stop listening to that “inside voice”.

Possibilities are just chances we have not taken

They keep up rising

Instead of staying broken.

When you have just a little faith

A little hope in your soul

That is when you can just take off and go.

Everything has a season

A season to change and correct

An opportunity, have you taken yours yet?

Trying is hard when you see no end

But let me tell you it will no doubt come , my friend.

It is difficult sometimes , more than we feel we can stand.

Trust in a process

Things don’t change overnight

That is why we search for more than our own might.

We need to examine how life went so wrong

We need to carry in our hearts hope, faith, and love.

These are blessings and give us each, enough.

Extreme is not necessary when you really try

In taking little steps forward, 

You can eventually tell bad times, goodbye.

Extreme may simply be

You believing in something greater

Something greater, than you or me.

Something you cannot see but can feel

The overwhelming desire or passion 

That surrounds your heart and soul

The extreme that makes you go.

Poem(To the tune of ” hush little baby”)

Often there are those who have tormented lives. They don’t see hope. They can’t believe in good things again. This poem is coming from an abused child, who’s father abused her.


Hush little lady don’t say a word

Pappa is going to be down right disturbed.

When the night calls

He will be your downfall

And hope will be fleeting from your heart.

Hush little child you are fair game

To the adult that carries no blame

He will abuse you while others sleep

And nothing will ever peaceful keep.

Rush to whomever, tell them no lies

Ask for their pardon, watching their eyes

They won’t believe you and this is sad

For what he did do, he isn’t labeled bad.

Hush now adult that once was a child

You were once labeled and disowned

Fear not you’ll make it, if you can leave

All of that heartache, please just believe.
