Three Things Challenge #M844

CRINGE
COWER
BRUISE

I cringe and cower when I hear yelling
The pain and past bruises in my mind appear
Reminding me of past times, my heart is swelling
With memories that fill me with fear.

But I stand tall and face the day
Knowing that I am stronger now
Those painful memories may never go away
But I won’t let them hold me down.

lawyer

Larry the lawyer can tell no lie
His honesty shines, you can’t deny
In the courtroom, he stands so tall
His integrity admired by all

With every word, his truth is clear
Clients trust him, without any fear
No deception, no deceit in sight
Larry’s honesty is his guiding light

Hometown

In the heart of my hometown, memories reside,
Where laughter and tears, in harmony, confide.
Familiar faces, streets I know by heart,
A place of belonging, a cherished start.

Mercy

Oh, mercy me, the times we are living in,
Natural disasters, food being stolen,
No one seems to care about anyone else but themselves,
I am scared for what lies ahead.

The world seems to be in disarray,
With troubles and worries at every turn,
It’s hard to find a sense of peace,
When so much around us seems to burn.

Oh mercy me, the times we are living in,
Let’s strive for kindness and empathy,
For in caring for each other,
We can create a better world for you and me.

Wireless

Tracy tirelessly watched the wireless,
For her artist to come on and inspire.
She was determined to stay on, even late into the night,
But her body had other plans, it did tire.

Slowly but surely, her eyes closed, drifting to sleep,
Not long after, her artist appeared on the wireless,
She missed the moment, her heart began to weep,
But she knew tomorrow, she would again be tireless.

Longing

October 9, 2024 M.A.D. Works

I have a longing for something undefined,
Each day it grows, in my heart, entwined.
A yearning for something I cannot name,
An elusive desire, like a flickering flame.

It tugs at my soul, a mysterious allure,
A yearning so deep, so pure, and so sure.
I seek it out, though I know not what for,
This unnamed longing, I can’t ignore anymore.

Withdraw

In moments when the world feels too much,
I retreat from everyone’s touch.
No calls, no texts, no words to say,
I seek solitude to find my way.

I withdraw to my quiet space,
Where I can find my peaceful place.
Alone in my room, away from the crowd,
I recharge my soul, and think aloud.

So if I don’t answer, please understand,
I just need time to lend a helping hand.
It’s not about you, it’s about me,
Finding my balance, to once again be free.

Out of Place

October 8, 2024October 8, 2024 M.A.D. Works

In a world where I often feel out of place,
A constant struggle, a never-ending chase.
Surrounded by faces, yet feeling alone,
Yearning for somewhere that feels like home.

CLUMSY
FALL
DIVE

Clive was a clumsy fool
but he didn’t pay it no mind
Day in and day out he would fall and dive
Out of people’s ways
But every time he would say
At least I stuck my landing
