A place to show my work
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Let your imagination run wild! I’m eager to see the incredible ideas everyone comes up with. Think outside the box and let your creativity soar. Whether it’s a poem, a story, or something entirely unique, the possibilities are endless. Share your thoughts, and let’s inspire each other with our diverse perspectives and talents!
To the voyage unknown
Is the greatest fear of all.
Not knowing what lies ahead,
Yet growth demands we push on through.
–
The winds of change may roar and call,
Yet courage within us must stand tall.
Embrace the dark, the thrill, the dread,
For only through storms can we be led.
In the quiet burger joint, I could not resist eavesdropping on the next table, their secrets spilling like ketchup, creating a connection despite the vast space between us.
Please take a step back, hear my plea,
Not everything revolves around thee.
You’re not always right, take a pause,
Lend me your ear, consider my cause.
I have some knowledge, a thing or two,
Let’s share our thoughts, me and you.
In this conversation, let’s both be wise,
Open your heart, and we can rise.
Life’s a game, not so hot,
A stagnant pace, a tangled plot.
But something shifts, a light breaks through,
Until then, it’s just me and you.
.
Beneath my skin, a torrent brews,
A tempest waiting, longing to choose.
Boiling water, fierce and wild,
A quiet storm in the heart of a child.
Anger rising, no more contained,
A flame igniting, unchained, unfeigned.
Pounding heartbeat, a restless plea,
This raging fire demands to be free.
In silence it simmers, in darkness it dwells,
A thirst for release, like ringing bells.
The rage inside, a primal song,
A call to break free—I’ve waited too long..
