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!

Poem

Need To Be Right, by MwsR

The unbearable need to be right

Has clouded your reality and has taken flight

It grows and feeds from the imaginations you create

The ones where you are the only one on the right side of the gate

Oh, if reality was like that

Maybe you prefer a gun instead of a ball bat

More destructive and permanent if you use that

Always more harm than protection

Please think about your reaction

If no one can assess things for the truth and not the tales

We all will certainly end up in hell

When apologies mean nothing when spoken

If regrets can’t make up for all that is broken

Then why even try

Consequences will come when you deny

Nothing will change

It will stagnate instead of repair

All a little too jaded to actually be fair

A terrible battle, a heart broken game.

All that will be left will be our name.

Consequences/ Poem MwsR

Each harsh word, chops away at another’s voice,

They cannot or will no longer talk to you.

All actions you do to get “back” at another,

Permanently bruises another’s pride.

Physical touch done in anger,

Replaces the love that was in another’s heart for you.

Taking no time to be with someone

Increases the chances that they won’t be available when you do.

Each demeaning comment you throw towards another

They will one day catch it and return it back to you.

With each action or word you give to another

Will in some way ,shape or form affect not only them but also you.
