#allowed poems on Hello Poetry

Amanda Kay Burke Jan 2021

Live a short while
Then say to me
Where you are your sight enjoys what it sees
Year after year passes
Doesn't seem so bad
Until you compare the good memories once had
Life seems to darken and get worse
Your road forks
Becomes a haunting curse
My love it does not matter the choice of your direction
Explore the world
Every road holds imperfection
In awhile you will discover if you haven't by now
Happiness more than Earth will allow

It doesn't really matter what you do because life ***** us all in the end

No Gold Digging Allowed (Haiku)

Stop gold digging now
Rich with treasure already
She is pure diamond

wild flower

your DNA is wild
so please,
take care
of your inner child

you may pass some challenging phases
although people don’t want you
to grow in certain places

so grow through concrete
in the middle of the street
grow in a litter bin
grow from dirt
grow in different directions
grow with imperfections

because your roots are strong
and you aim up high
until you reach the sky

so grow in every angle you want to
because there’s a wildflower in you.

My Life

God saw it

He allowed it

He is always here

by my side.

You can Snort

If they tell you,
Make it pretty
Make it nice
Be subtle and precise
Shiny but not too bright
Smile then laugh, but don’t snort -
Not ladylike
One more thing... don’t cry,
Black streaks will ruin your attire.
You can tell them,
OR
I can make it pretty and loud
Assertive and proud
Ladylike if I like
Be boisterous if I must
I can dress it up, dress it down
Twirl and dance around
Show my tears to the crowd
And then laugh because that’s life
Also,
          I can snort, that’s allowed!

Former Self

I used to tell myself that I was never a pretty girl
I allowed someone's opinion clout my world
I doubted everything I could do
I allowed someone's thought influence me too
Only now:
I am confident wearing my flaws
From head to toe, I know I have it all
I know I'm not perfect but, I indeed have great skills
To all those before, you no longer have the power of my wills

Why

I don't understand why destiny allowed some people to meet when there's no way for them to be together.

I Am Leaving Tonight

Tell me what you expected
All the stress became too much
I thought I was strong enough to handle
Sadness breaking when we touch

The memories are tainted now
Frame after frame, pictures taken
Showing same smiles we've always had
But looking back pain awakens

Can't help but pick apart each scene
Stare at our frozen expressions
Trying to figure what really went on
After burning fateful make-out sessions

I guess I will never know
Probably less agony that way
Think I rub salt into my own wounds
Reopen them every dreaded day

Haven't I suffered enough?
Accepted much heartache at your hand?
Never thought we would be here today
I don't expect you to understand

It was my fault you thought I wouldn't leave
Allowed you to push me aside, disjoint
Of course you were sure I'd stay forever
But each person has a breaking point

I never thought I would reach mine
