So I sit here and reflect

M.A.D. Works
reflect

I sit here and reflect,
We used to be close,
Will we ever get that back?
Only time will tell, I suppose.

Memories linger like whispers in the air,
Laughter shared, secrets bare,
But distance grows with every day,
Will the path to you fade away?

I think of the moments, the dreams we spun,
The light-hearted jokes, the races we’d run.
Yet shadows creep in, doubt starts to swell,
In the silence between us, a story we can’t tell.

But hope lies dormant, waiting for its cue,
Like the dawn that breaks after the night’s dark hue.
Perhaps one day we’ll find our way,
And rediscover the bond that time can’t fray.

So I sit here and reflect,
With a heart full of wishes, a soul to connect,
For though life may twist like a winding road,
I’ll hold onto your memory, like a precious ode.

Echoes of Absence

M.A.D. Works
Slip Away

Unknowingly, you slipped away.
What did I do wrong? What could I have done
to make you stay?
All I ever wanted was to feel needed and seen.
I thought I had that with you,
but I was wrong yet again.
Will I ever find that connection,
or is it a dream just out of reach?
In the silence, I search for answers,
wondering if love can be genuinely returned.
Will I always be left with echoes of absence,
lost in the longing for what might have been?

preparation

Preparation is what’s needed
To accomplish what you hope,
With each small step and steady aim,

Builds the path that leads you on;
With courage in your heart, my dear,
Your dreams will wake with each new dawn

Whispers of Change

M.A.D. Works
host

In my mind, the thoughts reside,
Hosting echoes, hard to bide.
For years they’ve danced, both dark and bright,
I work each day to find the light.

Rewiring paths, a steady quest,
Though struggles rise, I do my best.
With every dawn, new hope I find,
Improvements bloom within my mind.

Appearance

M.A.D. Works
appearance

Now you make an appearance,
Where were you when I needed you the most?
In shadows deep, where silence sings,
I wandered alone, a desolate ghost.

Each echo of laughter, a bittersweet rhyme,
The moments we shared now drift far away.
I reached for your hand through the barriers of time,
But you turned a blind eye, lost in the fray.

I gathered my courage, I built up my dreams,
But storms rolled in, and they tore me apart.
Now you’re here with your comforting gleams,
Yet I’m left to mend this once-fractured heart.

Still, hope flickers like candles in night,
Perhaps we can stitch what was worn and frayed.
With patience and kindness, let’s set things right,
In the warmth of your presence, I won’t be afraid.

So linger a while, let shadows disperse,
Together, we’ll find the light in the dark.
In a world full of questions, in this universe,
Your return is the spark that ignites a new arc.

Uniquely Me

M.A.D. Works
Weird

Throughout my childhood, I was called weird
For the things that I liked, for the paths that I steered.
In a world full of patterns, I danced to my drum,
With dreams in my pocket and glitter in my hum.

I climbed trees of imagination, soared high in the sky,
Painted rainbows on walls where no limits applied.
While others found comfort in molds that were set,
I reveled in oddities, with no hint of regret.

Whispers behind me, like breezes they blew,
Judgment and laughter, but my spirit just grew.
For every odd quirk, every strange little spark,
Was a gem in the darkness, a light in the dark.

Embracing the quirky, the unusual, the rare,
I learned to find beauty in all that I wear.
Now I stand tall, with my head held up high,
A tapestry woven of laughter and sighs.

So, here’s to the weird, the different, the bold,
To the stories we share and the truths we unfold.
In this kaleidoscope life, let your colors run free,
For the weirdest of hearts is the most truly free.

On Edge

M.A.D. Works
Word Prompts

A few words and now I am on edge,
Thoughts swirling fast, like leaves on a hedge.
The world feels heavy, shadows creep,
Lost in worries that won’t let me sleep.

A kind smile, a gentle tone,
Can chase away the thoughts I own.
So I breathe deep, let calmness in,
Finding peace where doubts have been.

Step by step, I’ll find my way,
One bright moment can change the day.
A few words spoken can ease the dread,
And lift me up, on joy instead.

Poetry

Resilience

M.A.D. Works
contrary

Contrary to your belief,
I am stronger than you think,
still hanging on,
though edges may fray,
each storm makes me blink.

With scars like my armor,
I rise from the fall,
a spirit unbroken,
I stand through it all.

So doubt if you must,
but my heart will not break,
for deep in my being,
I know what’s at stake.

Poetry

Apology

M.A.D. Works
apology

Acknowledging my mistake,
Promising to make it right,
Opening my heart,
Letting go of my pride,
Only seeking forgiveness,
Genuine in my intentions,
Yearning for your understanding.

Windows of the Soul

M.A.D. Works
window

The eyes are the window to the soul,
Guardians of secrets, they quietly unfold.
They speak without words, a language so pure,
In each gaze exchanged, our connections endure.

Stars in the twilight, shining so bright,
Whispers of dreams in the softest light.
So cherish the moments, let your gaze roam free,
For in those deep windows, true beauty we see.

Increase in Empathy

M.A.D. Works
increase

In a world where chaos seems to reign,
Let’s sow the seeds, let go of the pain.
If we increase our empathy, just a little more,
We’ll find the peace we’ve longed for at our core.

With open hearts and listening ears,
We can soften the violence, diminish the fears.
Each act of kindness, a light shining bright,
Bringing us closer, erasing the night.

So let us embrace the love that we share,
For when we are united, we lighten the air.
Increase your empathy, let compassion be known,
And watch as tranquility flourishes and grows.

Beyond Physical

M.A.D. Works
physical

You don’t need fists to cast your chains,
For words can echo and leave deep stains.
Actions can wound without a fight,
While shadows linger, stealing light.

No need for physical to leave a scar,
Silent harm can reach so far.
In gentle whispers, pain can lie,
With every word, a soul can sigh.
